Conceptual distinctiveness supports detailed visual long-term memory for real-world objects
(American Psychological Association, 2010)Humans have a massive capacity to store detailed information in visual long-term memory. The present studies explored the fidelity of these visual long-term memory representations and examined how conceptual and perceptual ... -
Context-Robust Object Recognition via Object Manipulations in a Synthetic 3D Environment
(2021-06-03)The remote control is a small object that does not fly in the air and is generally found on a table, not in the sink. Such contextual regularities are ingrained in our perception of the world and previous research suggests ... -
Detecting changes in real-world objects: The relationship between visual long-term memory and change blindness
(Landes Bioscience, 2009)A large body of literature has shown that observers often fail to notice significant changes in visual scenes, even when these changes happen right in front of their eyes. For instance, people often fail to notice if their ... -
Mid-level perceptual features distinguish objects of different real-world sizes.
(American Psychological Association (APA), 2016)Understanding how perceptual and conceptual representations are connected is a fundamental goal of cognitive science. Here, we focus on a broad conceptual distinction that constrains how we interact with objects—real-world ... -
The neural mechanisms for the recognition of face identity in humans
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2014)Every day we encounter dozens of people, and in order to interact with them appropriately we need to recognize their identity. The face is a crucial source of information to recognize a person’s identity. However, recognizing ... -
No Global Processing Deficit in the Navon Task in 14 Developmental Prosopagnosics
(Oxford University Press, 2007)Faces are represented in a more configural or holistic manner than other objects. Substantial evidence indicates that this representation results from face-specific mechanisms, but some have argued that it is produced by ... -
The Role of the Dorsal Visual Processing Stream in Tool Identification
(Sage Publications, 2010)The dorsal visual processing stream subserves object-directed action, whereas the ventral visual processing stream subserves visual object recognition. Little is known about how information computed by dorsal-stream ... -
Visual Long-Term Memory Has a Massive Storage Capacity for Object Details
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2008-09-11)One of the major lessons of memory research has been that human memory is fallible, imprecise, and subject to interference. Thus, although observers can remember thousands of images, it is widely assumed that these memories ...
