Abstract

The holistic representation of objects as coordinates in a psychological space should be supplemented with decompositional processes that break objects down into components. There is strong psychological evidence for object decomposition, and structured representations are also needed because of their computational efficiency. Structured and unstructured representations can be unified by a process that extracts regularities at multiple levels of an object.
