The limits and potentials of deep learning for robotics (2018, background): “Since then, psychologists have devised various experiments to investigate these unconscious mechanisms [33], modernized Helmholtz’ original ideas [94], and reformulated them in the framework of Bayesian inference [55].”
Object Persistence in Philosophy and Psychology (2007, background): “Psychological principles — including those principles that are wired into the visual system and that collectively constitute the ‘ logic of perception ’ ( Rock, 1983 ) — are typically fallible heuristic principles that get things right most of the time, but fail spectacularly in some special…”
Towards a general law of numerical/object identity. Commentary. Author's reply (2001, unknown): “Rock (1983) and Shepard (1988) argue that an interpretation of a single object moving back and forth between the two locations -even with intermediate positions missing -is preferable to accepting the coincidence that two identical or similar looking objects are appearing and disappearing in…”
Embodied Cognition is Not What you Think it is (2013, background): “At the time these ideas were taking off, research on perception suggested that our perceptual access to the world wasn’t very good (see Marr, 1982; Rock, 1985 for reviews).”
Recognition-by-components: a theory of human image understanding. (1987, background): “Recent theoretical analyses of perceptual organization (Binford, 1981; Lowe, 1984; Rock, 1983; Witkin & Tenenbaum, 1983) provide a perceptual basis for generating a set of geons.”
Three decades of lay epistemics: The why, how, and who of knowledge formation (2009, background): “…to characterise explicit human inferences (Anderson, 1983), implicit conclusion drawing (Schwarz & Clore, 1996), conditioning responses in animal learning studies (Holyoak et al., 1989; Rescorla & Wagner, 1972), and perceptual judgements of everyday objects (Gregory, 1997; Pizlo, 2001; Rock, 1983).”
A Boolean map theory of visual attention. (2007, background): “The traditional interpretation is Bayesian in character: it states that figure– ground segmentation reflects the fact that it would be a great coincidence for two adjacent objects to happen to have outer contours that fit snugly into each other (e.g., Rock, 1983).”
Pretense and representation: The origins of "theory of mind." (1987, unknown): “It has much in common with the concepts developed by the information-processing, or cognitivist, approach to cognition and perception (Chomsky, 1980; Oennett, 1983; Fodor, 1976; Haugeland, 1978; Mandler, 1983; Mart, 1982; Rock, 1983; Ullman, 1980).”
Learning visual groups from co-occurrences in space and time (2015, background): “The idea that perceptual groups reﬂect statistical structure in the environment has deep roots in the perception and cognition literature (Barlow (1985); Wilkin & Tenenbaum (1985); Tenenbaum & Witkin (1983); Lowe (2012); Rock (1983)).”
