You have no difficulty distinguishing between the letters oand w, but it takes longer to distinguish between the letters oand q. which theory of object recognition does this support?

a. feature analysis theory
b. recognition by components
c. subjective contour theory
d. template matching theory

The theory of objects recognition which support it, is as follow:

a. Feature Analysis Theory

Explanation:

The option a is correct as feature analysis theory states that we our brain  develops patterns to understand the objects. As there is no pattern difference between O and W but there is a little difference between O and Q so it is difficult to distinguish between O and Q.The option b is incorrect as Recognition by components states that we recognize the objects by separating them in smaller parts so it is not applicable here.The option c is not correct as subjective contour theory is about the visuals of object and is not related here.The option d is not correct as template matching theory states that we humans make a sketch of something, we saw for first time. Whenever, we look those objects again, then we refer towards that template in our minds.

Hope this will !
