One shot generalization in humans revealed through a drawing task

2021-05-31

Abstract excerpt

Humans have the striking ability to learn and generalize new visual concepts from just a single exemplar. We suggest that when presented with a novel object, observers identify its significant features and infer a generative model of its shape, allowing them to mentally synthesize plausible variants. To test this, we showed participants abstract 2D shapes (‘Exemplars’) and asked them to draw new objects (‘Variatio...
