Contributions of representational distinctiveness and stability to memory performance and age differences
Long-standing theories of cognitive aging suggest that memory decline is associated with
age-related differences in the way information is neurally represented. Multivariate pattern …

Development of visual object recognition
V Ayzenberg, M Behrmann - Nature Reviews Psychology, 2024 - nature.com
Object recognition is the process by which humans organize the visual world into
meaningful perceptual units. In this Review, we examine the developmental origins and …

A guide to representational similarity analysis for social neuroscience
Representational similarity analysis (RSA) is a computational technique that uses pairwise
comparisons of stimuli to reveal their representation in higher-order space. In the context of …

Early language exposure affects neural mechanisms of semantic representations
One signature of the human brain is its ability to derive knowledge from language inputs, in
addition to nonlinguistic sensory channels such as vision and touch. How does human …

Longitudinal development of category representations in ventral temporal cortex predicts word and face recognition
Regions in ventral temporal cortex that are involved in visual recognition of categories like
words and faces undergo differential development during childhood. However, categories …

Representational Dissimilarity of Faces and Places during a Working Memory Task is Associated with Subsequent Recognition Memory during Development
Nearly 50 years of research has focused on faces as a special visual category, especially
during development. Yet it remains unclear how spatial patterns of neural similarity of faces …
