Before revision: Experimental evidence Participants show a remarkable ability to recognise objects despite visual noise provided that the geons are visible Removal of feature-relation information (relations between geons) impairs object recognition No visual priming if different geons are used between trials Weaknesses RBC theory is not in itself capable of starting with a photograph of a real object and producing a geons-and-relations description of the object; the theory does not attempt to provide a mechanism to reduce the complexities of real scenes to simple geon shapes.
