    • Conceptual distinctiveness supports detailed visual long-term memory for real-world objects 

      Konkle, Talia A; Brady, Timothy F; Alvarez, George Angelo (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 ...

    • Detecting changes in real-world objects: The relationship between visual long-term memory and change blindness 

      Brady, Timothy F.; Konkle, Talia; Oliva, Aude; Alvarez, George Angelo (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. 

      Long, Bria Lorelle; Konkle, Talia A; Cohen, Michael A.; Alvarez, George Angelo (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 

      Anzellotti, Stefano; Caramazza, Alfonso (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 

      Duchaine, Bradley; Yovel, Galit; Nakayama, Ken (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 

      Almeida, Jorge Manuel; Mahon, Bradford Z.; Caramazza, Alfonso (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 

      Brady, Timothy F.; Konkle, Talia; Alvarez, George; Oliva, Aude (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 ...
