Abstract
Using a change detection paradigm (Barenholtz, E., Cohen, E. H., Feldman, J., & Singh, M. (2003). Detection of change in shape: An advantage for concavities. Cognition, 89(1) 1-9), we measured sensitivity to the changes of shapes and in particular the difference between detecting a new convex or concave vertex. We conclude that concave vertices per se are not more salient, but changes in the sequence of convexities and concavities along a contour are salient. We argue that these changes are likely to signal a change in perceived part structure.
