Abstract: Latimer & Stevens (1997) develop a useful framework for discussing issues surrounding the definition and explanation of perceptual Gestalts. They use this framework to raise some doubts about the possibility of "holistic" perceptual processing. However, I suspect that these doubts ultimately stem from assumptions about the nature of representation and processing in the brain, rather than from an analysis of part/whole concepts. I attempt to spell out these assumptions, and sketch an alternative perspective deriving from Gestalt theory) that has the potential to make sense of holism in perception.
