methods:16 images per exemplar (across 2 blocks)
passive viewing
analysis: use MVPA to characterize similarity and dissimilarity
of activity patterns within and between categories
Typical exemplars more similar to central category tendency in LOCTypical exemplars distinguish more strongly between categories in LOC
Suggests prototype representation for real-world objects

RT for recognition / categorization
Neural Typicality Hypothesis: Family Resemblance

Whole-Brain Searchlight AnalysisfMRI Experiment Summary
Less typical exemplars more distinguishable in cIPLcIPL involved in category learning, memory of object context
Suggests contextual facilitation of categorization for atypical exemplars
Typicality may constitute a previously unexplored principle of organization for intra-category neural structure
New HypothesesIntermediate visual processing may prioritize the embedding of
behaviorally relevant dimensions of variance directly into neural representations
