Abstract:
Humans and others primates are highly attuned to temporal consistencies and regularities in their sensory environment and learn to predict such statistical structure. Moreover, in several instances, the presence of temporal structure has been found to facilitate procedural learning and to improve task performance. Here we extend these findings to visual object recognition and to presentation sequences in which mutually predictive objects form distinct clusters or "communities." Our results show that temporal community structure accelerates recognition learning and affects the order in which objects are learned ("onset of familiarity").
