Much of the controversy revolves around general interpretations of holistic results from raw, un-trialled tests that accumulate data from deletions representing items of widely differing difficulty.
Lycan contends that perceptual representation is layered, and vision in particular represents physical objects such as trees by representing items called "shapes," most of which are nonactual; in the trees case differing shapes are represented.

Tables 1 and 2 represent item difficulty, average measures, step calibrations, and item and category fit indices for self- and proxy-reports.
The bars in the top panels represent patient responses, and the bars in the bottom panels represent item thresholds on the scales.
