Description
Simon Lacey, Andrew Peters and K. Sathian tested whether recognizing an object by sight and by touch depends on viewpoint, in PLOS ONE in 2007. Earlier work had suggested that both visual and touch based recognition suffer when an object is turned. Those studies, though, used objects stretched along one axis, which may have skewed the result.
Lacey and co-authors revisited the question with that flaw in mind. Their title gives the direction of the work: cross-modal recognition, matching what is seen with what is felt, can hold up across viewpoints. The finding matters for how we think the brain stores shape. It suggests shape knowledge is not tied to one fixed view.
