Object recognition (cognitive science)

Visual object recognition refers to the cognitive ability to identify objects from visual perception. One important signature of visual object recognition is "object invariance", or the ability to identify objects across changes in the detailed context in which objects are viewed, including changes in illumination, object pose, and background context.
