In conjunction search:
Correct answer: D. All of the above
- A. The target/distractor difference is not based on a single feature, but on conjunctions of features
- B. Search time for the target is not constant, but instead rises with the number of distractors
- C. The observer apparently searches through the display serially, scanning each term or small group of items) successively (serial search)
- D. All of the above
Explanation
A conjunction search requires combining two or more features, so the target usually cannot be detected immediately and search time increases as distractors are added. This makes the search relatively serial, so all three descriptions apply.

Sometimes the visual information available to us about a stimulus is ambiguous because of differences in depth, lighting or shading cues. For example, patterns of shading can create the illusion of objects as protruding from a visual field. How do we make sense of the visual information to recognize ambiguous stimuli?
