  • Title: A developmental dissociation of view-dependent and view-invariant object recognition in adolescence.
    Author: Jüttner M, Müller A, Rentschler I.
    Journal: Behav Brain Res; 2006 Dec 15; 175(2):420-4. PubMed ID: 17055074.
    Abstract:
    Spatial generalization skills in school children aged 8-16 were studied with regard to unfamiliar objects that had been previously learned in a cross-modal priming and learning paradigm. We observed a developmental dissociation with younger children recognizing objects only from previously learnt perspectives whereas older children generalized acquired object knowledge to new viewpoints as well. Haptic and--to a lesser extent--visual priming improved spatial generalization in all but the youngest children. The data supports the idea of dissociable, view-dependent and view-invariant object representations with different developmental trajectories that are subject to modulatory effects of priming. Late-developing areas in the parietal or the prefrontal cortex may account for the retarded onset of view-invariant object recognition.
