Gestaltzerfall

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gestaltzerfall refers to a psychological phenomenon where delays in recognition are observed when a kanji character is stared at for a while. A study has shown that delays are most significant when the characters are of the same size. When characters to recognize are of different sizes, delays are observed only when they are of different patterns.[1]

Orthographic satiation vs semantic satiation

The characteristics of orthographic satiation as opposed to semantic satiation is that meaning remains intact. It was suggested that this is different from semantic satiation and from stimulus familiarization effect because orthographic satiation occurs after the perceivers have access to the lexical meaning.
