The Psychonomic Society is pleased to announce the latest AP&P Special Issue: A Special Issue of Ensemble Perception: Theory and Experiment<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__link.springer.com_journal_13414_volumes-2Dand-2Dissues_83-2D3&d=DwMFaQ&c=Cu5g146wZdoqVuKpTNsYHeFX_rg6kWhlkLF8Eft-wwo&r=DKs5c6h0Ts_4AOQ8rodRuQ&m=DIsAfn57aV4n2k0rB2RdsOpcwDVDkB8XFqWOIheUZpQ&s=pBD-y8kUQaa-piXvjvXKxZ2iIvvPqTaMz8Qf-LC7-oY&e=>.

This special issue aims to highlight and advance contemporary research on human perception and attention relevant to ensemble perception.

Various processes have been suggested enabling Gestalt organization and gist perception. Recent attention has focused on one such process, ensemble perception, whereby sets of elements are represented by their summary statistics rather than by their individual values, or at least in addition to them. Observers perceive set mean and variability or range (and higher order statistics) for elements perceived simultaneously or sequentially, and they do so either explicitly – when asked to report these values, or implicitly, automatically and on-the-fly – when performing a separate task.

Ensemble variables include temporal frequency (i.e., of tones), size (i.e., of visual objects), orientation, brightness, spatial position and speed and direction of motion, as well as facial expression or emotion and gender, object lifelikeness, biological motion of human crowds, gaze direction, and even numerical averaging. Range perception is related to outlier detection (as in feature pop-out; Treisman & Gelade, 1980), enabling attention to important features, because the very definition of an outlier depends on perception of set range. Range or variance perception is also related to the precision of feature variable estimation, because this precision depends on the associated range (Miller, 1956). Mean perception is related to the phenomenon of central tendency or contraction to the mean (beginning with Hollingworth, 1910), leading to errors of judgement, shortening the effective range of viewed elements. And, perceiving the mean, when it is not present, is a type of “false memory.” Thus, ensemble representation in terms of summary statistics aids rapid Gestalt gist perception and analysis of complex scenes, but it may also lead to false conclusions concerning items present or absent from the scene.

About AP&P
Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics (AP&P)<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.psychonomic.org_page_app&d=DwMFaQ&c=Cu5g146wZdoqVuKpTNsYHeFX_rg6kWhlkLF8Eft-wwo&r=DKs5c6h0Ts_4AOQ8rodRuQ&m=DIsAfn57aV4n2k0rB2RdsOpcwDVDkB8XFqWOIheUZpQ&s=PGsheVzWXDuMXOpy_mWa0Smm3YW2k9UCSUmu7euUGjA&e=> is an official journal of the Psychonomic Society. It spans all areas of research in sensory processes, perception, attention, and psychophysics. Most articles published are reports of experimental work; the journal also presents theoretical, integrative, and evaluative reviews. Commentary on issues of importance to researchers appears in a special section of the journal. Founded in 1966 as Perception & Psychophysics, the journal assumed its present name in 2009.
