Access to data is a critical feature of an efficient, progressive and ultimately self-correcting scientific ecosystem. But the extent which in-principle benefits sharing are realized in practice unclear. Crucially, it largely unknown whether published findings can be reproduced by repeating reported analyses upon shared ('analytic reproducibility'). To investigate this, we conducted observational evaluation mandatory open policy introduced at journal Cognition. Interrupted time-series...
Human object-selective cortex shows a large-scale organization characterized by the high-level properties of both animacy and object size. To what extent are these neural responses explained primitive perceptual features that distinguish animals from objects big small objects? address this question, we used texture synthesis algorithm to create class stimuli-texforms-which preserve some mid-level form information while rendering them unrecognizable. We found unrecognizable texforms were...
While substantial work has focused on how the visual system achieves basic-level recognition, less asked about it supports large-scale distinctions between objects, such as animacy and real-world size. Previous shown that these dimensions are reflected in our neural object representations (Konkle & Caramazza, 2013), objects of different sizes have mid-level perceptual features (Long, Konkle, Cohen, Alvarez, 2016). Here, we test hypothesis animates manmade also differ features. To do so,...
Understanding how perceptual and conceptual representations are connected is a fundamental goal of cognitive science. Here, we focus on broad distinction that constrains interact with objects--real-world size. Although there appear to be clear correlates for basic-level categories (apples look like other apples, oranges oranges), the broader categorical distinctions largely unexplored, i.e., do small objects objects? Because many kinds (e.g., cups, keys), may no reliable features distinguish...
Prior expectations shape neural responses in sensory regions of the brain, consistent with a Bayesian predictive coding account perception. Yet, it remains unclear whether such mechanism is already functional during early stages development. To address this issue, we study how infant brain responds to prediction violations using cross-modal cueing paradigm. We record electroencephalographic expected and unexpected visual events preceded by auditory cues 12-month-old infants. find an...
For any scientific report, repeating the original analyses upon data should yield outcomes. We evaluated analytic reproducibility in 25 Psychological Science articles awarded open badges between 2014 and 2015. Initially, 16 (64%, 95% confidence interval [43,81]) contained at least one 'major numerical discrepancy' (>10% difference) prompting us to request input from authors. Ultimately, target values were reproducible without author involvement for 9 (36% [20,59]) articles; with 6 (24%...
Summary 1. The spatial organization of a badger population (North Nibley) is described before and after it was subjected to UK Ministry Agriculture, Fisheries Food removal operation (BRO) intended control bovine tuberculosis. Comparison made with an undisturbed (Woodchester Park). 2. Woodchester Park organized in group territories clearly defined boundaries that remained stable during the 3 years study (1995–97). In North Nibley, however, badgers' severely perturbed first year and, lesser...

Abstract Childhood is marked by the rapid accumulation of knowledge and prolific production drawings. We conducted a systematic study how children create recognize line drawings visual concepts. recruited 2-10-year-olds to draw 48 categories via kiosk at children’s museum, resulting in >37K analyze changes category-diagnostic information these using vision algorithms annotations object parts. find developmental gains inclusion that are not reducible variation visuomotor control or effort....
Summary Conservation issues and a potential role in disease transmission generate the continued need to census Eurasian badgers Meles meles , but direct counts sett present difficulties. The feasibility of estimating social group size population density by quantifying their use latrines was evaluated. number latrines, or preferably separate dung pits, which were known from bait‐marking be used members group, positively correlated with adult estimated mark–recapture studies at Woodchester...
By adulthood, animacy and object size jointly structure neural responses in visual cortex influence perceptual similarity computations. Here, we take a first step asking about the development of these aspects cognitive architecture by probing whether are reflected computations preschool years. We used search performance as an index similarity, research with adults suggests is slower when distractors perceptually similar to target. Preschoolers found target pictures more quickly targets...
When adults see a picture of an object, they automatically process how big the object typically is in real world (Konkle & Oliva, 2012a). How much life experience needed for this automatic size processing to emerge? Here, we ask whether preschoolers show same signature processing. We showed 3- and 4-year-olds displays with two pictures objects asked them touch that was smaller on screen. Critically, relative visual sizes could be either congruent their real-world (e.g., small shoe next car)...

Abstract Eurasian badgers Meles meles habitually deposit droppings and other scent marks at latrines, which may be associated with territorial defence, communicate information related to group individual identity status, food resources. Understanding patterns of latrine distribution contributes our understanding badger social behaviour, relevant managing the risks transmission bovine tuberculosis from cattle. We investigated latrines relative habitat composition in a high‐density population...
The faces and hands of caregivers other social partners offer a rich source causal information that is likely critical for infants' cognitive linguistic development. Previous work using manual annotation strategies cross-sectional data has found systematic changes in the proportion egocentric perspective young infants. Here, we validated use modern convolutional neural network (OpenPose) detection naturalistic videos. We then applied this model to longitudinal collection more than 1,700...
The complexity of visual features for which neurons are tuned increases from early to late stages the ventral stream. Thus, standard hypothesis is that high-level functions like object categorization primarily mediated by higher areas because they require more complex image formats not evident in processing stages. However, human observers can categorize images as objects or animals big small even when preserve only some low- and mid-level but rendered unidentifiable ('texforms', Long et...
ABSTRACT Human object-selective cortex shows a large-scale organization characterized by the high-level properties of both animacy and object-size. To what extent are these neural responses explained primitive perceptual features that distinguish animals from objects big small objects? address this question, we used texture synthesis algorithm to create novel class stimuli— texforms —which preserve some mid-level form information while rendering them unrecognizable. We found unrecognizable...
How do children's visual concepts change across childhood, and how might these changes be reflected in their drawings? Here we investigate developmental children’s ability to emphasize the relevant distinctions between object categories drawings. We collected over 13K drawings from children aged 2-10 years via a free-standing drawing station museum. hypothesized that older would produce more recognizable drawings, this gain recognizability not entirely explained by concurrent development...
The origins of logical concepts is one the central topics in cognitive science. Cesana-Arlotti and colleagues provide novel eye-tracking measures from preverbal infants compatible withdisjunctive reasoning. However, evidence not conclusive. We a simpler object tracking account that would produce same processing signatures. Future research must make priori predictions distinguish these accounts.
