Wilkinson and Pickett (8) maintain that the weaker association found at a lower level of aggregation is an expected outcome, since social forces at higher levels shape spatial income distribution and may hide the impact of inequality on health outcomes.
In the theory of action identification [ 14], relationships may be seen through a hierarchy where the lowest level dictates simple motor actions (e.g., moving a finger) while the highest level shapes the broader understanding (e.g., the beliefs surrounding a behaviour and its consequences).
This paper proposes to extract generative processes from a given B-rep shape as a high-level shape description.
A possible mild improvement in LG's high-level shape recognition might be observed following training, when examining his possibly improved Hooper and Birmingham Object Recognition Battery overlapping figures test scores for letters, and possibly improvements in overcoming occlusion, yet the significance of these changes cannot be determined.
Moreover, the underlying neuronal mechanism (i.e., divisive normalization of neuronal responses by the summed activity of a nearby pool of neurons) is considered one of the fundamental computations underlying both lower-level and higher-level shape processing [4,181,182].
A few studies, however, consider how characteristics of the higher level can shape the risk environment.
An overview of our previous studies dealing with feeding habits [ 28] and trophic morphology [ 4, 66, 67] in adult damselfishes shows that the higher level of shape disparity corresponds to a higher level of ecological and functional diversity in comparison to the larval stage.
Although this study did not explicitly address what object processing strategy underlay rat invariant recognition, several factors argue in favor of higher-level, shape-based processing, rather than reliance on lower-level visual properties.
If crime is not scale invariant, this implies that there are different processes at each level, or that there is some form of hierarchical arrangement where higher level contexts help shape the outcomes of lower level processes (e.g., street segments provide a context that moderates the address level dynamics of crime).
That is, querying for all 'elongate' jaws, for example, would return jaws of all shapes because all descriptions of jaw shape variation are annotated to the high level term shape.
