Modularity of Mind (2017, background): “Evidence suggests that “during the first 20 years of humans’ lives it appears that their visual input systems exhibit diachronic cognitive penetrability” (McCauley and Henrich 2006, 19).”
Cognitive Penetrability of Perception in the Age of Prediction: Predictive Systems are Penetrable Systems (2015, background): “Critics of CPP concede that long-term experience can allow perception to be altered by higher-level states (Fodor 1984; Pylyshyn 1999; McCauley and Henrich 2006 for discussion).”
Cognitive Penetrability of Perception (2013, background): “For a related discussion see McCauley and Henrich 2006.”
Varieties of cognitive penetration in visual perception. (2014, unknown): “One explanation for the Müller-Lyer illusion is that growing up in a carpentered environment might determine memory patterns (level 3) of the proportion of lines when they are embedded within adjacent lines of certain angles (e.g. Deregowski, 2013; Gregory, 1968; McCauley & Hemrich, 2006).”
Cognitive Penetration of Colour Experience: Rethinking the Issue in Light of an Indirect Mechanism (2012, background): “For example, it seems that if one has not grownup in a ‘‘carpentered’’ environment (one that contains many right angles) then one is less likely to be subject to this illusion.8 This 8 See McCauley and Henrich (2006).”
