As humans, we interact with objects in our environment in two ways: by identifying them and by using them. This proposal will study the visual brain mechanisms that underlie these abilities. In particular, comparisons will be made between objects that we can grasp and use like a hammer and those that we cannot like a tree. Is this difference reflected in our learning about and forming memories for objects? Does the ability to grasp and use objects influence our ability to identify them? Does our ability to identify objects influence our ability to use them? Two models of processing object identity and use will be tested. One postulates that we know how to use objects simply based on their visual appearance. Another model postulates that we only know how to use objects after we have identified them. The proposed studies will measure the time and accuracy of our object identification as a function of our ability to use them. Measures of grasping and using objects will also be made.

作为人类，我们以两种方式与环境中的物体进行交互：识别它们和使用它们。这项提议将研究这些能力背后的视觉大脑机制。特别是，我们将对那些我们可以像锤子一样抓住和使用的物体和那些我们不能像树一样抓住和使用的物体进行比较。这种差异是否反映在我们对物体的学习和记忆的形成上？掌握和使用物体的能力会影响我们识别物体的能力吗？我们识别物体的能力会影响我们使用它们的能力吗？将测试两种处理对象身份和使用的模型。一种假设是，我们知道如何简单地根据物体的视觉外观来使用它们。另一个模型假设我们只有在识别了物体之后才知道如何使用它们。拟议的研究将衡量我们识别物体的时间和准确性，作为我们使用它们的能力的函数。还将制定掌握和使用物体的措施。
