{"pk":31697,"title":"Associating Wat and Where Using Temporal Cues","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Johansson showed that people can recognize hunicin\ngaits from brief presentation of only a few moving\ndots. A recently constructed connectionist model,\nMARS , is the first program of any type to model this\nphenomenon. One of the key ideais is that an associ-\nation is formed between visual actions and spatial lo-\ncations. Simulations show that in MARS the cissocia-\ntion mechanism is necessary for reliable recognition of\nmultiple actions, and that the action-recognition pro-\ncess and the location association process ax;t in con-\nsort to arrive at a stable interpretation of the image\nsequence. Association between location and action is\nperformed in a spatiotopic network of cells that spe-\ncialize in detecting temporal synchrony between vi-\nsual events in the scene and predictions generated by\nactive models of actions held in memory . The model\nsuggests that such a mechanism may be used to build\nand maintain associations acquired sequentially.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Submitted Presentations","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/7d63350b","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Nigel","middle_name":"H.","last_name":"Goddard","name_suffix":"","institution":"Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"1993-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/31697/galley/22765/download/"}]}
