Abstract

Stoffregen & Bardy provide grounds to suppose that specificationrequires global arrays and that this information is used byperceptual systems. Three conclusions follow from this supposition;(1) global specification will be taken seriously only if additionalexamples are discovered; (2) research into single-sense informationmust take global information into account, and (3) ecologicalpsychologists must account for perceptions based upon non-specificinformation.
