Stimuli employed by Truppa et al. (2010) to investigate processing of hierarchical stimuli in Xenotoca eiseni. On the left side are the consistent stimuli presented, in which the same shape is represented at the global and local level; on the right side are the inconsistent stimuli, in which the shape information provided by the local and the global level conflict. Across the three different conditions (A, B and C), stimuli differed in absolute size and in the density of the local elements.
