The first of these stages is perceptual analysis, which is con- cerned with organization, grouping, symmetry analysis, complex- ity and other perceptual features that are known to influence aesthetic appreciation. In the second stage, the analysis of familiar- ity, prototypicality and meaning is performed, together with the implicit and automatic integration of information with pre-exist- ing memory structures. Processes involved in explicit classification are performed in the third phase, including those related with the style and the content of the stimulus. Thereafter, in the cognitive mastering stage, the stimulus is interpreted on art-specific and self-related grounds. Finally, the model provides two different out- puts: a cognitive state, product of the earlier.
