As robots perform manipulation tasks and interact with objects, it is probable that they accidentally drop objects (e.g., due to an inadequate grasp of unfamiliar object) subsequently bounce out their visual fields. To enable recover from such errors, we draw upon the concept object permanence-objects remain in existence even when are not being sensed seen) directly. In particular, developed a ...

How distinct are visual memory representations from visual perception? Although evidence suggests that briefly remembered stimuli are represented within early visual cortices, the degree to which these memory traces resemble true visual representations remains something of a mystery. Here, we tested whether both visual memory and perception succumb to a seemingly ubiquitous neural computation: ...

Visual representation has been recognized as a powerful learning tool in many learning domains. Based on the assumption that visual representations can support deeper understanding, we examined the effects of visual representations on learning performance and cognitive load in the domain of mathematics. An experimental condition with visual representations was compared to a control condition wi...
