The Structural–Dynamic Characteristics of Perceptual Hypotheses

The authors report an experimental study of a perceptual hypothesis of subjects (ages 17 to 25 years) on a drawing task (drawing a still life). It is assumed that perception can be studied as a process of solving a direct-sensory task where the solution to the task requires removing uncertainty from the situation. From subjects’ solution of the drawing task, three classes of hypothesis were determined, and each divided into three types depending on the number of components (a one, two, or multicomponent hypothesis). Sixteen strategies were differentiated in completing the perceptual task.
