Subordinate categorization enhances the neural selectivity in human object-selective cortex for fine shape differences.

abstract：:When observers are presented with hierarchical visual stimuli that contain incongruous coarse ("global") and fine ("local") pattern attributes, the global structure interferes with local pattern processing more than local structure interferes with global pattern processing. This effect is referred to as "global preced...

abstract：:When engaged in dynamic visuospatial tasks, the brain copes with perceptual and cognitive processing challenges. During multiple-object tracking (MOT), the number of objects to be tracked (i.e., load) imposes attentional demands, but so does spatial interference from irrelevant objects (i.e., close encounters). Presen...

To build a more complete representation of the environment, memory systems may prioritize new information that has not already been stored.
