[Coding/Determinants] TF

Aliases

TF
texture-form
texture dominant

Definition

TF is coded when texture dominates the response and form stays secondary.
The tactile or surface experience carries more weight than the formal structure of the percept.

Conditions

The response starts from a tactile or surface impression.
Form participates, but only secondarily.
If form carries the main load, reconsider scoring-input/determinants/FT.
If formal organization is barely present, reconsider scoring-input/determinants/T.

Cautions

TF should not be assigned because of one isolated tactile word; the overall emphasis matters.
If texture is not truly used, the response should not be inflated to TF.
If depth or relief dominates, review scoring-input/determinants/V.
If diffuse shading dominates, review scoring-input/determinants/Y.
