Literary Reviews – introduction

Our visual surroundings contains massive amounts of information involving the relations between objects in space and time.
Specific objects are more likely to appear in the neighborhood of other objects. Studying these consistencies can support a extensive range of visual processing.
Humans appear to learn these regularities automatically, quickly, and without conscious awareness. In the laboratory, it is revised with an supplementary encoding paradigm. As the articles below will demonstrate, participants detect a stream of nonsense objects and complete a task, a task not linked to the underlying statistical arrangement in the stream. But statistical structure is present existing, and subsequent to a short exposure period, a familiarity test reveals the extent of learning by the participants.
