The influence of temporal association on the representation and recognition objects was investigated. Observers were shown sequences novel faces in which identity face changed as head rotated. As a result, observers showed tendency to treat views if they same person. Additional experiments revealed that this only true training depicted rotations rather than jumbled views; other words, sequence had be spatially well temporally smooth. Results suggest we are continuously associating support later recognition, do so not basis physical similarity, but also correlated appearance time objects.
