A language of thought for the mental representation of geometric shapes

M Sablé-Meyer, K Ellis, J Tenenbaum, S Dehaene - Cognitive Psychology, 2022 - Elsevier
In various cultures and at all spatial scales, humans produce a rich complexity of geometric
shapes such as lines, circles or spirals. Here, we propose that humans possess a language …

Redundancy and reducibility in the formats of spatial representations

SR Yousif - Perspectives on Psychological Science, 2022 - journals.sagepub.com
Mental representations are the essence of cognition. Yet to understand how the mind works,
one must understand not just the content of mental representations (ie, what information is …

The genesis of errors in drawing

R Chamberlain, J Wagemans - Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, 2016 - Elsevier
The difficulty adults find in drawing objects or scenes from real life is puzzling, assuming that
there are few gross individual differences in the phenomenology of visual scenes and in fine …

Sensory binding without sensory individuals

J Quilty-Dunn - Sensory Individuals: Unimodal and Multimodal …, 2023 - books.google.com
One might think of visual processing as operating like an assembly line: subsystems work

Skeletal descriptions of shape provide unique perceptual information for object recognition

V Ayzenberg, SF Lourenco - Scientific reports, 2019 - nature.com
With seemingly little effort, humans can both identify an object across large changes in
orientation and extend category membership to novel exemplars. Although researchers …

Trend judgment as a perceptual building block of graphicacy and mathematics, across age, education, and culture

L Ciccione, M Sablé-Meyer, E Boissin, M Josserand… - Scientific Reports, 2023 - nature.com
Data plots are widely used in science, journalism and politics, since they efficiently allow to
depict a large amount of information. Graphicacy, the ability to understand graphs, has thus …
