General object-based features account for letter perception

2021-04-22

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> After years of experience, humans become experts at perceiving letters. Is this visual capacity attained by learning specialized letter features, or by reusing general visual features previously learned in service of object categorization? To explore this question, we first measured the perceptual similarity of letters in two behavioral tasks, visual search and letter categorization. Then, we tr...
