Categorization, perception, and language

Cognition does not automatically influence perception: Evidence from neural encoding of colours belonging to different categories

This study re-evaluates EEG evidence for early cognitive influences on perception by showing that early differences in neural responses to colors are driven by contrast adaptation rather than linguistic categorization.

A database of digital line drawings that depict expected and unexpected action-place relationships

The paper introduces a database of 70 digital line drawings depicting expected and unexpected action-place relationships, validated by 207 participants using three measures of comprehensibility.

The effect of deferring feedback on rule-based and information-integration category learning.

This paper investigates how category structure and stimulus type affect the deferred feedback effect in rule-based and information-integration learning, finding that stimuli choice influences the effect.

The limited place in cognitive space

This paper demonstrates that cognitive spaces have fundamental limitations in representing complex cognition by showing incompatible neighbourhood relations can break spatial models.

Probing the Link Between Vision and Language in Material Perception UsingPsychophysics and Unsupervised Learning

This study explores the relationship between visual perception and language in material recognition using psychophysics and unsupervised learning, finding moderate correlation but structural differences in representations.

Neural and behavioral signatures of the multidimensionality of manipulable object processing.

The paper investigates the multidimensionality of manipulable object processing by analyzing behavioral and neural data to identify interpretable dimensions that guide object categorization and neural representation.

Semantic feature production norms for manipulable objects

The paper creates a feature database for manipulable objects and shows high structural similarity with existing semantic norms, validating its use in understanding object processing.

Abstract neural representations of category membership beyond information coding stimulus or response

The paper investigates whether the brain forms abstract category representations independent of sensory or motor details using fMRI and cognitive modeling.

Two Forms of Knowledge Representations in the Human Brain

The paper investigates how color knowledge is represented in the brain, finding that both sensory-derived and cognitively-derived systems exist, with a specific region supporting color knowledge in both blind and sighted individuals.

Inductive reasoning differs between taxonomic and thematic contexts: Electrophysiological evidence

The paper investigates differences in neural mechanisms for inductive reasoning in taxonomic and thematic contexts using ERP data.
