DOI: 10.1007/s10980-021-01304-9
Abstract: There have been dramatic global declines in pollinating insects. A common land management intervention to support wild pollinators is to plant non-crop flowering plants (‘pollinator planting’). However, there are limited data on which species or… read more here.

Vocal tract constancy in birds and humans
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Behavioural Processes"
DOI: 10.1016/j.beproc.2018.08.001
Abstract: Humans perceive speech as being relatively stable despite acoustic variation caused by vocal tract (VT) differences between speakers. Humans use perceptual 'vocal tract normalisation' (VTN) and other processes to achieve this stability. Similarity in vocal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2017.12.037
Abstract: Summary Perceptual constancy—identifying surfaces and objects across large image changes—remains an important challenge for visual neuroscience [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]. Liquids are particularly challenging because they respond to external forces in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jecp.2020.104825
Abstract: The ability to keep perception constant despite environmental changes of illumination, viewing angle, or distance is a key feature of perception. Here, we investigated how "perceptual constancy" relates to language learning by investigating the relationship… read more here.

Colour category constancy and the development of colour naming
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Vision Research"
DOI: 10.1016/j.visres.2021.05.008
Abstract: In this study, we investigated the processes of coordination, adaptation, and calibration during the development of colour naming and colour constancy, and we tested whether colour term knowledge is related to colour constancy. We measured… read more here.

Minimal perception: Responding to the challenges of perceptual constancy and veridicality with plants
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Philosophical Psychology"
DOI: 10.1080/09515089.2019.1646898
Abstract: ABSTRACT Plant predictive processing suggests that plants anticipatorily perceive their environment. This hypothesis runs up against a challenge which takes the form of two constraints on perception advanced by Tyler Burge: the veridicality constraint and… read more here.

Colour constancy failures expected in colourful environments

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2021.2483
Abstract: Colour constancy refers to the constant perceived or apparent colour of a surface despite changes in illumination spectrum. Laboratory measurements have often found it imperfect. The aim here was to estimate the frequency of constancy… read more here.

Loudness constancy in healthy older adults: Effects of sound production and visual cues of music playing
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Journal of the Acoustical Society of America"
DOI: 10.1121/1.5068089
Abstract: Loudness constancy refers to the phenomenon by which loudness remains constant in the presence of substantial changes in a physical stimulus caused by varying the sound distance. We investigated loudness constancy in healthy older adults.… read more here.

Deep neural models for color classification and color constancy

DOI: 10.1167/jov.22.4.17
Abstract: Abstract Color constancy is our ability to perceive constant colors across varying illuminations. Here, we trained deep neural networks to be color constant and evaluated their performance with varying cues. Inputs to the networks consisted… read more here.

Stereoscopic depth constancy for physical objects and their virtual counterparts

DOI: 10.1167/jov.22.4.9
Abstract: Stereopsis plays an important role in depth perception; if so, disparity-defined depth should not vary with distance. However, studies of stereoscopic depth constancy often report systematic distortions in depth judgments over distance, particularly for virtual… read more here.

Invariant categorical color regions across illuminant change coincide with focal colors

DOI: 10.1167/jov.23.2.7
Abstract: Are there regions in a color space where color categories are invariant across illuminant changes? If so, what characteristics make them more stable than other regions? To address these questions, we asked observers to give… read more here.
