j7asd_v1 | The psychophysics of style | Among the most significant modes of human creative expression is style: the capacity to represent objects, events, and scenes (e.g., lilies dotting a pond) in some distinctive manner (e.g., Monet’s broken brushstrokes and blended colors). Diverse research traditions analyze the social, political, and aesthetic significance of stylistic representation. But what are the cognitive and computational foundations of this capacity? Here, we characterize style perception as a process that “parses” form from content, and adapt classic psychophysical paradigms to discover multiple new phenomena of style perception. Using both naturalistic images and synthetic stimuli, ten experiments reveal perceptual ‘tuning’ to stylistic information, representational constancy over stylistic variation, and mental rendering of novel styled objects. Moreover, an object recognition model further grounds style perception by capturing human judgments of image similarity over different styles. Together, this work illuminates the psychological foundations of stylistic perception, and opens the door to further investigation of styled media. | 2025-05-07T21:44:30.042532 | 2025-05-07T21:47:04.972269 | 2025-05-07T21:46:41.719348 | psyarxiv | 1 | pending | 1 | 1 | https://doi.org/10.31234/osf.io/j7asd_v1 | CC-By Attribution 4.0 International | [] | Tal Boger; Chaz Firestone | [{"id": "kq4j5", "name": "Tal Boger", "index": 0, "orcid": null, "bibliographic": true}, {"id": "dufs8", "name": "Chaz Firestone", "index": 1, "orcid": "0000-0002-1247-2422", "bibliographic": true}] | Tal Boger | Social and Behavioral Sciences; Perception; Cognitive Psychology; Vision | [{"id": "5b4e7425c6983001430b6c1e", "text": "Social and Behavioral Sciences"}, {"id": "5b4e7427c6983001430b6c71", "text": "Perception"}, {"id": "5b4e7427c6983001430b6c8c", "text": "Cognitive Psychology"}, {"id": "5b4e7428c6983001430b6cc0", "text": "Vision"}] | https://osf.io/download/681bd4479ae374eff3c0dc40 | 0 | available | available | ["https://osf.io/mb3nh/"] | prereg_both | 2025-05-08T00:11:26.740192 |
