Abstract

How do we make sense of the world around us? Recently, we identified a set of 49 dimensions that were largely sufficient for characterizing the mental representations underlying object similarity judgments. Applying this framework to neural representations, we highlight the additional explanatory value of dimensions beyond object recognition and categorization.
