- A Century of Gestalt Psychology in Visual Perception I. Perceptual Grouping and Figure-Ground Organization (2012, background): “…slipstream of Shannon's information theory, a few researchers tried to provide a quantitative underpinning to the central Gestalt notion of simplicity (e.g., Attneave, 1954; Attneave & Arnoult, 1956; Hochberg & McAlister, 1953; Leeuwenberg, 1969, 1971; for a review, see Hatfield & Epstein, 1985).”
- Simplicity versus likelihood in visual perception: from surprisals to precisals. (2000, background): “SIT has faced several problems regarding, for instance, the choice of its coding rules and its complexity measurement and the computability of its simplest codes--see, for example, Simon (1972), Collard and Buffart (1983), Hatfield and Epstein (1985) , and Pomerantz and Kubovy (1986).”
