SPATIOTEMPORAL CONTINUITY IMPLICATED IN THE BINDING OF FEATURES AND OBJECT IDENTITY.

Stark, James W.; Anes, Michael D.; Liederman, Jacqueline

This study continues the work of Anes et al. (in preparation) in which manipulation of features incidental to an object elicited robust effects in a dynamic object recognition paradigm. In the current series, the spatio­­-temporal continuity of identity and feature presentation is increasingly distorted between experiments in an attempt to disrupt a process Triesman (1996) calls "binding" of an object's identity and features. Across three experiments, increasing disruption of spatiotemporal continuity significantly diminished the effect of features on object identification, evidence that spatiotemporal continuity is, in part, responsible for binding features to an object.
