Rigid thinking about deformables: do children sometimes overgeneralize the shape bias?

Aug 2008 Young children learning English are biased to attend to the shape of solid rigid objects when learning novel names. This study seeks further understanding of the processes that support this behavior by examining a... Read more...

Using morphs of familiar objects to examine how shape discriminability influences view sensitivity.

Jul 2008 We investigated how the difficulty of detecting a shape change influenced the achievement of object constancy across depth rotations for object identification and categorization tasks. In three sequential matching... Read more...

A scaling analysis of the snake lightness illusion.

Jul 2008 Logvinenko and Maloney (2006) measured perceived dissimilarities between achromatic surfaces placed in two scenes illuminated by neutral lights that could differ in intensity. Using a novel scaling method, they found... Read more...
