What is problematic with the idea that processing for object recognition occurs in a serial fashion (figure-ground segregation $\rightarrow$ geons $\rightarrow$ meaning)?
A) These events may occur simultaneously.
B) Top-down as well as bottom-up processing occurs.
C) Parallel processing is likely.
D) All of the above.

All of the above are problematic with the idea that processing for object recognition occurs in a serial fashion. Research has shown that figure-ground segregation, geon recognition, and meaning processing may occur simultaneously and that both top-down and bottom-up processing occur in object recognition. Additionally, parallel processing is likely to occur, with the brain analyzing multiple features of an object at the same time.
