  This study is concerned with the top-down visual processing benefit in the
task of occluded object recognition. To this end, a psychophysical experiment
is designed and carried out which aimed at investigating the effect of
consistency of contextual information on the recognition of objects which are
partially occluded. The results demonstrate the facilitative impact of
consistent contextual clues on the task of object recognition in presence of
occlusion.
