{ "pk": 25491, "title": "Common object representations for visual recognition and production", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "What is the relationship between recognizing objects and\ndrawing objects? We examine the possibility that both functions\nare supported by a common internal representation.\nFirst, we show that a model of ventral visual cortex only\noptimized to recognize objects in photographs generalizes to\ndrawings of objects, suggesting that the capacity for visual\nabstraction is rooted in the functional architecture of the visual\nsystem. Next, we tested whether practice drawing objects\nmight alter how those and other objects are represented. On\neach trial, participants sketched an object. The model then\nguessed the identity of the sketched object, providing realtime\nfeedback. We found that repeatedly sketched objects were\nbetter recognized after training, while sketches of unpracticed\nbut similar objects worsened. These results show that visual\nproduction can reshape the representational space for objects:\nby differentiating trained objects and merging other nearby\nobjects in the space.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "communication; drawing; learning; perception\nand action; computer vision" } ], "section": "Papers", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/14n7j9hn", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Judith", "middle_name": "E", "last_name": "Fan", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Princeton", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Daniel", "middle_name": "L.K.", "last_name": "Yamins", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "MIT", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Nicholas", "middle_name": "B", "last_name": "Turk-Browne", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Princeton", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "2015-01-01T10:00:00-08:00", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/25491/galley/15115/download/" } ] }
