An Analysis of Figural Images by Invariants os the Graph Theory
文朗 神戸 · Institutional Repositories DataBase (IRDB) · 1989
A bs tract This study is a pilot survey of cognitive processes by the use of invariants of the theory of graphs.Six-point, six-or five-line figures taken from a CRT display were transformed by subjects in a problem solving procedure.Each figure was changed to an indicator format (including invariants and realizing value indicators).Nonrandomness of the subjects' data represented by the indicators was tested by the chi-square goodness of fit.The following inferences were drawn from the results: (a) subjects' figural images were rather holistic but not isomorphic; (b) many invariants were kept constant while a few realizing value indicators were actively being changed; (c) the figures produced generally took good Gestalt; and (d) subjects refrained from easily recoguizable figures redundantly.* This is a mmor revision of the original article first prepared in 1983 but has not been published.A short report based on the artrcle was mede on the occasion of the 49th J-PA annual convention.Broad reexamination on the set of indicators treated here has been conducted and ensuing modrfrcation of the computation programs is now under way.=8 5-able， This easy， overt
