摘要

本文在探討型體特徵之相同與差異性的不同組合，對人員在進行相似性辨識時的影響機制。實驗中藉由5個不同特徵之排列組合所構成的32個矩形塊體，做為受測者在進行評估每兩型體間相似性的基本實驗樣本。從MDS及聚群分析結果顯示受測者在做兩型體相似性評估時，會依據特徵之顯著程度來進行判斷。從結果中可以看出，受測者即使面對由多重且複雜特徵所組成之樣本時，不但能藉由特徵之組成差異做判斷，同時這種特徵比對的行為確實會受特徵間之顯著性差異所影響。從本文之研究結果顯示當人類在進行型體的相似性辨識時，將會很具有結構性地有效操弄視覺資訊，即使是看似複雜之型體仍能被釐清其特徵間之關係。

This study attempts to explore the mechanisms people use in similarity identification of common and distinctive combination of form features. Thirty-two rectangular prisms each composed of a specific structure of five form features were used as materials for subjects to evaluate the similarity between every two samples. Results of MDS and cluster analysis indicated that subjects could precisely perceive the similarity between every two images according to the salience of form features. It has been found that even though there are multiple and complicated combinations of form features in objects, it is possible for people to make decisions for the feature matching behavior. Moreover, this kind of feature matching process is closely related to the differences in salience between various form features. Results of the study demonstrated that in dealing with the similarity identification task, human beings are able to use their structural ability to handle effectively the visual information that looks complicated but possesses specific relations between form features.
