A study on pattern perception looked at stimuli in which a single "larger" letter was constructed of smaller letters (e.g., using small "s" letters to make a large "H"). In this study, participants were asked to identify the individual components (small letters) or identify the large letter. When the small letters were positioned close together, in general, participants were faster at identifying

the larger letter versus the smaller letters. This is known as

a. global precedence effect.
b. local precedence effect.
c. macro-identity effect.
d. recognition-by-components.
