Now, many events can be subject to either construal, kind of like the classic figure-ground reversal illusions, in which you can either pay attention to the particular object, in which case the space around it recedes from attention, or you can see the faces in the empty space, in which case the object recedes out of consciousness.
In multe cazuri putem vedea o constructie in doua feluri, cam ca si in cazul clasicei vaze a lui Rubin, la care fie punem accentul pe un obiect in particular, caz in care spatiul din jurul sau trece in planul secund, fie vedem profilurile din spatiul gol din jur, caz in care obiectul in sine nu mai este perceput.
