Mental imagery and blindness

C Renzi, Z Cattaneo, T Vecchi, C Cornoldi - Multisensory imagery, 2013 - Springer
Although imagery is traditionally thought to be inherently linked to visual perception, growing
evidence shows that mental images can arise also from nonvisual modalities. Paradigmatic …

Orientation invariance and geometric primitives in shape recognition

MJ Farah, R Rochlin, KL Klein - Cognitive Science, 1994 - Wiley Online Library
Although it is generally assumed that vision is orientation invariant, that is, that shapes can
be recognized regardless of viewing angle, there is little evidence that speaks directly to this …

Prior experience of rotation is not required for recognizing objects seen from different angles

G Wang, S Obama, W Yamashita, T Sugihara… - Nature …, 2005 - nature.com
An object viewed from different angles can be recognized and distinguished from similar
distractors after the viewer has had experience watching it rotate. It has been assumed that …

Binocular shape constancy from novel views: The role of a priori constraints

MW Chan, AK Stevenson, Y Li, Z Pizlo - Perception & Psychophysics, 2006 - Springer
We tested shape constancy from novel views in the case of binocular viewing, using a
variety of stimuli, including polyhedra, polygonal lines, and points in 3-D. The results of the …

Space as a scaffold for rotational generalisation of abstract concepts

JP Lerousseau, C Summerfield - Elife, 2024 - elifesciences.org
Learning invariances allows us to generalise. In the visual modality, invariant
representations allow us to recognise objects despite translations or rotations in physical …

Bringing the grandmother back into the picture: A memory-based view of object recognition

S Edelman, T Poggio - … journal of pattern recognition and artificial …, 1992 - World Scientific
We describe experiments with a versatile pictorial prototype-based learning scheme for 3-D
object recognition. The Generalized Radial Basis Function (GRBF) scheme seems to be …

Recognition invariance obtained by extended and invariant features

S Ullman, E Bart - Neural Networks, 2004 - Elsevier
In performing recognition, the visual system shows a remarkable capacity to distinguish
between significant and immaterial image changes, to learn from examples to recognize …

The effect of depth rotation on object identification

FN Newell, JM Findlay - Perception, 1997 - journals.sagepub.com
Five experiments are reported in which the time to verify the name of different three-
dimensional common objects shown rotated in depth was investigated. Views of computer …

Amodal volume completion and the thin building illusion

V Ekroll, K Mertens, J Wagemans - i-Perception, 2018 - journals.sagepub.com
We report results from an experiment showing that a tall pillar with a triangular base evokes
radically different three-dimensional (3D) percepts depending on the vantage point from …

A stereo advantage in generalizing over changes in viewpoint on object recognition tasks

DJ Bennett, QC Vuong - Perception & Psychophysics, 2006 - Springer
In four experiments, we examined whether generalization to unfamiliar views was better
under stereo viewing or under nonstereo viewing across different tasks and stimuli. In the …
