“…Moreover, goodness is considered to relate to regularity not only in geometrical regularity but also in the comprehensive regularity shown in impressions. The rating score for the evaluation factor often corresponds to that of the regularity factor (Imai et al. 1976; Matsuda, 1978; Miura, 2007; Miura & Inoue, 2000; Oyama, Yamada, & Iwasawa, 1998), although each factor obtained using factor analysis is theoretically independent of the others.…”

“…After the Gestaltists, many have attempted to define goodness in operational terms or in quantitative ways, for example, using geometrical properties like the number of lines, the degrees of corners, and position (Hochberg & Brooks, 1960; Wilson & Chatterjee, 2005), the amount of information (Attneave & Arnoult, 1956), redundancy (Garner & Clement, 1963), the amount of structural information (Leeuwenberg, 1969) and transformation structure (Hamada & Ishihara, 1988; Imai, 1977; Imai, Ito, & Ito, 1976). The experimental data generally fit with these theories as long as limited stimuli are used, such as experimentally controlled, simple, and meaningless geometric shapes and patterns.…”

In this study, we examined pattern goodness in natural scenes using stone arrangements in a Japanese rock garden. The results showed that the stone arrangement simulating the rock garden at the Ryoan-ji Temple and arrangements with a single stone deleted from that simulation were evaluated highly. These arrangements had a self-similar spatial structure, namely, covert regularity, or had simple structures in medial axis transformation. These arrangements also produced impressions of greater width and depth than other arrangements. In contrast, sector arrangements, which gave the most regular impression, were evaluated the lowest for goodness. This suggests that the pattern goodness of natural scenes or the artistic evaluation does not always correspond to overt regularity, often considered to determine pattern goodness. The most important finding is that two types of sector arrangement and two types of random arrangement were classified in their respective groups by integrated multiple impressions, although they did not have similar perceptual appearances. An intuitive judgment based on integrated impressions may allow us to notice the hidden order in spatial structures and obtain substantial understanding of the structure.

“…However, using linear binary patterns as stimuli, Imai et al (1976) have reported that judged complexity increases with the number of runs whereas judged goodness does not. Thus, although the two concepts, pattern goodness and pattern simplicity (or complexity), have a fairly high correlation, they are not identical.…”

“…In their experiment, two patterns are said to be equivalent if one pattern is produced by reflections and 9O-deg rotations of the other. Although Garner directly related pattern goodness to the size of equivalent subsets, Imai et al (1976) related it to the intrapattern transformation structures, rather than the subset size. The transformation structures of patterns were defined by invariant properties for three cognitive transformations: mirroring on a diagonal axis, mirroring on the vertical axis, and 180-deg rotation.…”

“…The transformation structures of individual pat-Structure of pattern and a detailed data terns are defined by their invariance property for a set of transformations (see Imai, 1983;Imai, Ito, & Ito, 1976 In the main part of this article, 22 patterns of structures S1 to S5, 24 patterns of structures S6 and S7, and 24 patterns of structure S8 are categorized as high-, medium-, and low-invariance patterns (PH, PM, PL), respectively.…”

The present study investigated two basic processes in creating activity, the generating and selecting processes, based on an experimental analysis of pattern production.A two-process model of creating activity was proposed in terms of pattern production and three experiments were conducted with 41 to 98 college students, guided by the model. The first two experiments, in which subjects produced figural patterns under three task conditions, showed that the production rates of patterns were biased toward specific pattern structures regardless of the task differences. In the third experiment, the selection rates of patterns were measured and it was shown that the bias of the production rates cannot be attributed to a selection bias but to the structural dependency of generation.The results were analyzed based on the model and the specific form of the structural dependency of generation was estimated.It was concluded that the structural dependency of generation can be an intrinsic constraint on creation.
