Learning position-tolerant object representations
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Human observers have a remarkable ability to recognize and discriminate objects despite a high degree of variation in their visual appearance in different contexts. The mechanisms underlying this tolerance to object transformation are largely unknown and it is unclear if learning can influence sensitivity to object transformations. In these studies, I examine the role of learning on our ability to visually discriminate objects across multiple retinal positions. The findings from this research program indicate that prior experience will influence an observer's ability to discriminate objects and that the quality of prior experience is of utmost importance to the development of position-tolerant object representations.
