Memory Formation of Object Representation: Natural Scenes

Abstract

It has been suggested that the parahippocampal region collects spatial information in relation to navigational objects, in a joint encoding of space (Na- ture Neuroscience 7: 673677, 2004). The navigational object may play a role of landmark when the episodically dispersed snapshots are combined into compre- hensive spatial information of an individual space. Here we study the nature of ob- ject recognition in the long-term memory in human cognition that is learnt during scene-integration as regards the viewing angle under attention control. Based on the result, it is suggested that objects in a scene without attentionmay be processed into a 2-D representation bound to the background scene as a texture.
