Illusory conjunctions are psychological effects in which participants combine features of two objects into one object. There are visual illusory conjunctions, auditory illusory conjunctions, and illusory conjunctions produced by combinations of visual and tactile stimuli. Visual illusory conjunctions are thought to occ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illusory_conjunctions |
For example, in a study designed by Anne Treisman and Schmidt, participants were required to view a visual presentation of numbers and shapes in different colors. Some shapes were larger than others but all shapes and numbers were evenly spaced and shown for just 200 ms (followed by a mask). When the participants were ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illusory_conjunctions |
Along with feature integration, the location of the perceived illusory object in vision is a combined result of the constituent objects' locations, but the similarity of the features is what increases the likelihood of an illusory conjunction. In order for an illusory conjunction to occur, the two objects that are not ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illusory_conjunctions |
One theory supports that the decrease in illusory conjunctions with increased distance between objects is due to the use of bi-hemispheric input processing, making closer objects more likely to be conjoined because only one of the cerebral hemispheres sees and processes both objects that are involved in an illusory con... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illusory_conjunctions |
When objects are outside of attention in order for an illusory conjunction to occur they must be adjacent to each other to combine features. Objects become more susceptible to illusory conjunction not only due to relation to each other, but also in relation to the density of objects in the attentional location. As the ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illusory_conjunctions |
It has been suggested that research in support of illusory conjunctions is not adequate in terms of the methods used to analyze the data and that illusory conjunctions are actually confusions between target and nontarget objects. It has also been found in a few studies on visual illusory conjunctions that two objects t... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illusory_conjunctions |
Illusory conjunctions can also occur in memory. In vision, images can be combined through a lapse in memory of an image that is filled by physical stimuli. Illusory conjunctions often occur through memory errors because the situations in which illusory conjunctions happen involve multiple tasks or tasks that commonly d... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illusory_conjunctions |
These memory errors can be caused by a multitude of objects in a space increases the amount of things to be processed and stored to memory increases. This increase in objects creates a prime situation for memory to lapse and form an illusory conjunction. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illusory_conjunctions |
Illusory conjunctions in short term auditory memory occur also. When a set of tones is played in a sequence, illusory conjunctions of 'what' and 'when' can occur. For example, if a sequence of tones begins with the note C, and later includes the note C#, and the note C# is repeated at the end of the sequence, there is ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illusory_conjunctions |
Auditory illusory conjunctions occur either when two sounds are presented in different positions in space, but a single sound is heard, or when two different sounds are presented in different positions in space, but some of them are heard in the wrong spatial location. In the octave illusion, the listener is presented ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illusory_conjunctions |
Most listeners hear this sequence as a single tone that repeatedly changes both in pitch and in location. It has been suggested that time limitations contribute to this auditory illusory conjunction but see other explanations in terms of separate 'what' and 'where' pathways. In the scale illusion, the listener is prese... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illusory_conjunctions |
The scale is presented in both ascending and descending form, such that when a tone from the ascending scale is in the right ear, a tone from the descending scale is in the left ear. This gives rise to illusory conjunctions of pitch and location, such that all the higher tones are heard in one ear and all the lower ton... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illusory_conjunctions |
Illusory conjunctions can also occur between vision and touch. This happens when a seen object is attributed to textures that someone is feeling. This phenomenon is also more common when only one of the cerebral hemispheres is perceiving and processing the visual and tactile stimuli. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illusory_conjunctions |
The Volume-Control Model is an analytical framework to describe the conditions that allow the transition of information into power. It requires controlling and regulating the connections between a large volume of information and people. This could be achieved by maintaining a balance between popular and personal inform... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume-Control_Model |
The volume-control model is a part of the broader idea of the power-knowledge nexus.

Volume is therefore associated with both ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume-Control_Model |
One mechanism of control, popularization, is about focusing on the most popular information and offering it to a large number of people.
