Task-relevant perceptual features can define categories in visual memory too

From Features to Perceptual Categories
First we review an analysis of conditions that should be met if features are to provide robust inferences about world properties. Features meeting these conditions provide indices into especially useful categories of visual properties. Then we show that for a given set of elemental concepts the categories associated with these properties have a natural hierarchical (specialization) structure. W...
متن کاملVisual memory needs categories.
Capacity limitations in the way humans store and process information in working memory have been extensively studied, and several memory systems have been distinguished. In line with previous capacity estimates for verbal memory and memory for spatial information, recent studies suggest that it is possible to retain up to four objects in visual working memory. The objects used have typically be...
متن کاملNeurons in Area V4 of the Macaque Translate Attended Visual Features into Behaviorally Relevant Categories
Neural processing at most stages of the primate visual system is modulated by selective attention, such that behaviorally relevant information is emphasized at the expenses of irrelevant, potentially distracting information. The form of attention best understood at the cellular level is when stimuli at a given location in the visual field must be selected (space-based attention). In contrast, f...
متن کاملOccipital, parietal, and frontal cortices selectively maintain task-relevant features of multi-feature objects in visual working memory
Previous studies have shown that information held in visual working memory is represented in the occipital, parietal, and frontal cortices. However, less is known about whether the mnemonic information of multi-feature objects is modulated by task demand in the parietal and frontal regions. To address this question, we asked participants to remember either color or orientation of one of the two...
متن کاملAttention improves encoding of task-relevant features in the human visual cortex.
When spatial attention is directed toward a particular stimulus, increased activity is commonly observed in corresponding locations of the visual cortex. Does this attentional increase in activity indicate improved processing of all features contained within the attended stimulus, or might spatial attention selectively enhance the features relevant to the observer's task? We used fMRI decoding ...
