Visual object recognition is often assumed to be insensitive to changes in retinal position, leading to theories and formal models incorporating position-independent object representations. However, recent behavioral and physiological evidence has questioned the extent to which object recognition is position independent. Here, we take a computational and physiological perspective to review the ...

This paper outlines an approach for writing biological economic articles. There is a schism within economics between neoclassical and behavioral schools. Biology holds the promise of modern synthesis these apparently competing theories. Natural selection favors maximization analogous to sort assumed by economics. Behavior, however, produced specific physiologic machinery that sometimes produces...

Our findings demonstrate a possible behavioral outcome of a visual system with massive retrograde connections between category-sensitive and more primary visual areas [5,12] and suggest a reassessment of theories that eschew top-down conceptual influences on visual selection [13,14]. The present results make it clear that visual perception depends not only on what something looks like, but also...

operations and mechanisms of classical conditioning has been carried out considering the conditioned response (CR) separately and by regarding it as the optimum way of measuring the behavioral manifestation of conditioning. There are fundamentally two theories which have attempted to explain the nature of this response. The theory of the Psicothema, 1998. Vol. 10, no 1, pp. 175-181 ISSN 0214 99...
