- Title
PERCEPTUAL MICROGENESIS - WHAT ARE ITS REAL-TIME CHARACTERISTICS?
- Authors
Bachmann, Talis
- Abstract
According to the microgenetic stance, each following instant of perception gradually grows out from the each preceding one and is essentially a continual part of it. It is difficult to exclusively differentiate past, present and future in perception, because in the currently experienced mental reality past, present and future overlap, with no very clear borders in between. However, in the practical domain these theoretical underpinnings remain useless unless we support them by specific experimental data about the more or less precise values of measurements characterizing the real-time constraints and ranges within which the microgenetic perception unfolds. Here, the general theoretical picture of perceptual microgenesis will be supplemented with some simple data on the quantitative aspects of actual microgenesis. I will review some experimental measurements of perceptual microgenesis such as the realtime values of microgenesis, typical orders with which different characteristics of the same object/event unfold, arbitrari - ness with which the objective order is transformed to a subjective order, the phenomenon of proactive facilitation. Micro - genetic stance will be discussed also in light of the issue of neural correlates of consciousness.
