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 ... -
The Large-Scale Organization of Object-Responsive Cortex Is Reflected in Resting-State Network Architecture
Konkle, Talia A; Caramazza, Alfonso (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2016)Neural responses to visually presented objects have a large-scale spatial organization across the cortex, related to the dimensions of animacy and object size. Most proposals about the origins of this organization point ... -
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 ... -
Processing Multiple Visual Objects Is Limited by Overlap in Neural Channels
Cohen, Michael A.; Konkle, Talia; Rhee, Juliana Y.; Nakayama, Ken; Alvarez, George (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2014-06-02)High-level visual categories (e.g., faces, bodies, scenes, and objects) have separable neural representations across the visual cortex. Here, we show that this division of neural resources affects the ability to simultaneously ... -
Real-World Objects Are Not Represented as Bound Units: Independent Forgetting of Different Object Details from Visual Memory
Brady, Timothy Francis; Konkle, Talia A; Alvarez, George Angelo; Oliva, Aude (American Psychological Association, 2013-05-20)Are real-world objects represented as bound units? Although a great deal of research has examined binding between the feature dimensions of simple shapes, little work has examined whether the featural properties of real-world ... -
A Review of Visual Memory Capacity: Beyond Individual Items and Toward Structured Representations
Brady, Timothy F.; Konkle, Talia; Alvarez, George (Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO), 2011-05-26)Traditional memory research has focused on identifying separate memory systems and exploring different stages of memory processing. This approach has been valuable for establishing a taxonomy of memory systems and ... -
Scene Memory Is More Detailed Than You Think: The Role of Categories in Visual Long-Term Memory
Konkle, Talia A; Brady, T. F.; Alvarez, George Angelo; Oliva, A. (SAGE Publications, 2010)Observers can store thousands of object images in visual long-term memory with high fidelity, but the fidelity of scene representations in long-term memory is not known. Here, we probed scene-representation fidelity by ... -
Tripartite Organization of the Ventral Stream by Animacy and Object Size
Konkle, Talia A; Caramazza, Alfonso (Society for Neuroscience, 2013)Occipito-temporal cortex is known to house visual object representations, but the organization of the neural activation patterns along this cortex is still being discovered. Here we found a systematic, large-scale structure ... -
Visual Awareness Is Limited by the Representational Architecture of the Visual System
Cohen, Michael A; Nakayama, Ken; Konkle, Talia A; Stantić, Mirta; Alvarez, George Angelo (MIT Press - Journals, 2015)Visual perception and awareness have strict limitations. We suggest that one source of these limitations is the representational architecture of the visual system. Under this view, the extent to which items activate the ... -
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 ... -
Visual Long-Term Memory Has the Same Limit on Fidelity as Visual Working Memory
Brady, Timothy Francis; Konkle, Talia A; Gill, Jonathan; Oliva, Aude; Alvarez, George Angelo (SAGE Publications, 2013-05-20)Visual long-term memory can store thousands of objects with surprising visual detail, but just how detailed are these representations, and how can one quantify this fidelity? Using the property of color as a case study, ... -
Visual search for object categories is predicted by the representational architecture of high-level visual cortex
Cohen, Michael Sharpe; Alvarez, George Angelo; Nakayama, Ken; Konkle, Talia A (American Physiological Society, 2016)Visual search is a ubiquitous visual behavior, and efficient search is essential for survival. Different cognitive models have explained the speed and accuracy of search based either on the dynamics of attention or on ...
