Abstract

The occurrence of spontaneous switches between different interpretations of unchanging, ambiguous stimuli reflects the dynamic nature of unconscious perceptual processing. These perceptual alternations are explained by reciprocal inhibition, where one perception is suppressed while another emerges. The temporal patterns of these shifts vary between people but remain consistent within individuals, potentially reflecting underlying neural and psychological factors. Cognitive flexibility, the ability to switch tasks by inhibiting irrelevant information, may be related to perceptual flexibility. The present study (n = 48) explored the relationship between perceptual dynamics in the Necker Cube and higher-order cognitive processes. Switching rates and perspective durations were correlated with performance on computerized tasks (Stroop Test, Simon Task, and Task Switching Tests) and self-reported scales (Cognitive Flexibility Test, Barratt's Impulsiveness Scale, Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale, and Big Five Personality Traits Questionnaire). Results revealed correlations between perceptual dynamics, reaction times, and Cognitive Impulsiveness, suggesting links between perceptual alternation, cognitive processes, and personality traits. Future research should investigate the common mechanisms underlying these processes and investigate causality and temporal dynamics.

自发知觉交替与高阶认知过程:一项探索性研究。
对不变的、模糊的刺激的不同解释之间自发转换的发生反映了无意识知觉加工的动态性。这些知觉交替可以用相互抑制来解释,即一种知觉被抑制而另一种知觉出现。这些变化的时间模式因人而异,但在个体内部保持一致,潜在地反映了潜在的神经和心理因素。认知灵活性,即通过抑制不相关信息来切换任务的能力,可能与感知灵活性有关。本研究(n = 48)探讨了Necker Cube知觉动态与高阶认知过程之间的关系。转换率和视角持续时间与计算机任务(Stroop测试、Simon任务和任务转换测试)和自我报告量表(认知灵活性测试、Barratt冲动量表、抑郁、焦虑和压力量表以及大五人格特质问卷)的表现相关。结果揭示了知觉动态、反应时间和认知冲动之间的相关性,表明知觉交替、认知过程和人格特质之间存在联系。未来的研究应该调查这些过程背后的共同机制,并调查因果关系和时间动态。

期刊介绍: Cognitive Processing - International Quarterly of Cognitive Science is a peer-reviewed international journal that publishes innovative contributions in the multidisciplinary field of cognitive science.  Its main purpose is to stimulate research and scientific interaction through communication between specialists in different fields on topics of common interest and to promote an interdisciplinary understanding of the diverse topics in contemporary cognitive science. Cognitive Processing is articulated in the following sections:Cognitive DevelopmentCognitive Models of Risk and Decision MakingCognitive NeuroscienceCognitive PsychologyComputational Cognitive SciencesPhilosophy of MindNeuroimaging and Electrophysiological MethodsPsycholinguistics and Computational linguisticsQuantitative Psychology and Formal Theories in Cognitive ScienceSocial Cognition and Cognitive Science of Culture
