Critical bits and the Rorschach response process.
This article reviews some of the basic elements of visual science, especially the concept of critical stimulus bits, as they apply to the Rorschach response process. Illustrations and data are presented to depict how stimulus features such as contour, position, color, and internal sets can be critical in encouraging or thwarting the selection of certain kinds of Rorschach answers. The findings are discussed in the context of detecting projected material in Rorschach answers.
