MN Hebart, O Contier, L Teichmann, AH Rockter… - Elife, 2023 - elifesciences.org
Understanding object representations requires a broad, comprehensive sampling of the
objects in our visual world with dense measurements of brain activity and behavior. Here …

Testing formal cognitive models of classification and old-new recognition in a real-world high-dimensional category domain

BJ Meagher, RM Nosofsky - Cognitive Psychology, 2023 - Elsevier
Categorization and old-new recognition memory are closely linked topics in the cognitive-
psychology literature and there have been extensive past efforts at developing unified formal …

Semantic meaning enhances feature-binding but not quantity or precision of locations in visual working memory

T Sahar, N Gronau, T Makovski - Memory & Cognition, 2024 - Springer
Recent studies showed that real-world items are better remembered in visual working
memory (VWM) than visually similar stimuli that are stripped of their semantic meaning …

[HTML][HTML] Emotional modulation of memorability in mnemonic discrimination

F Morales-Calva, SL Leal - Neurobiology of Learning and Memory, 2024 - Elsevier
Although elements such as emotion may serve to enhance or impair memory for images,
some images are consistently remembered or forgotten by most people, an intrinsic …

THINGSplus: New norms and metadata for the THINGS database of 1854 object concepts and 26,107 natural object images

LM Stoinski, J Perkuhn, MN Hebart - Behavior Research Methods, 2024 - Springer
To study visual and semantic object representations, the need for well-curated object
concepts and images has grown significantly over the past years. To address this, we have …

Children develop adult-like visual sensitivity to image memorability by the age of 4.

XH Guo, WA Bainbridge - Journal of Experimental Psychology …, 2024 - psycnet.apa.org
Adults have been shown to consistently remember and forget certain images despite large
individual differences, suggesting a population-wide sensitivity to an image's intrinsic …

Deep neural network decodes aspects of stimulus-intrinsic memorability inaccessible to humans.

C Zhao, J Kim, TH Tang, JM Saito… - Journal of Experimental …, 2024 - psycnet.apa.org
Some stimuli are more memorable than others. Humans have demonstrated partial access
to the properties that make a given stimulus more or less memorable. Recently, a deep …

Not all objects are created equal: The object benefit in visual working memory is supported by greater recollection-like memory, but only for memorable objects

RE Torres, MS Duprey, KL Campbell, SM Emrich - Memory & Cognition, 2024 - Springer
Visual working memory is thought to have a fixed capacity limit. However, recent evidence
suggests that a greater number of real-world objects than simple features (ie, colors) can be …

Images with harder-to-reconstruct visual representations leave stronger memory traces

Q Lin, Z Li, J Lafferty, I Yildirim - Nature Human Behaviour, 2024 - nature.com
Much of what we remember is not because of intentional selection, but simply a by-product
of perceiving. This raises a foundational question about the architecture of the mind: how …

Memorability shapes perceived time (and vice versa)

AC Ma, AD Cameron, M Wiener - Nature Human Behaviour, 2024 - nature.com
Visual stimuli are known to vary in their perceived duration. Some visual stimuli are also
known to linger for longer in memory. Yet, whether these two features of visual processing …
