Making a Machine That Sees Like Us explains why and how our visual perceptions can
provide us with an accurate representation of the external world. Along the way, it tells the …

Many psychologists who study cognition believe that perception achieves object-centered
representations that make it possible to extract representations of how the object would …

Five experiments were conducted to examine whether varying certain perceptual attributes
of study and test items influences priming on pictorial tasks. Priming was found to be specific …

Visual object recognition is complicated by the fact that the same 3D object can give rise to a
large variety of projected images that depend on the viewing conditions, such as viewing …

A metric representation of shape is preserved by a Fourier analysis of the cumulative
angular bend of a shape's contour. Three experiments examined the relationship between …

The purpose of the experiments reported was to examine how novel, three-dimensional
shapes are represented in long-term memory and how this might be differentially affected by …

This paper reviews recent progress towards understanding 3D shape perception made
possible by appreciating the significant role that veridicality and complexity play in the …

The use of outline shape in recognizing objects was investigated in 4 experiments. In
Experiment 1, participants matched a shaded image to either another shaded image or a …

In an attempt to reconcile results of previous studies, several theorists have suggested that
object recognition performance should range from viewpoint invariant to highly viewpoint …

Perceptual constancy refers to the fact that the perceived geometrical and physical
characteristics of objects remain constant despite transformations of the objects such as rigid …
