Abstract

In a broad sense, the term recognition refers to the
explicit feeling of familiarity that occurs when, for
example, we view an object or hear a voice that we have experienced previously. It has been widely investigated in the visual domain, and this entry is thus based mainly on this field of research. By definition, accurate recognition can only occur for objects or sets of objects that we have experienced (seen) in the past. Recognition is fundamental to interpreting perceptual experiences, as it gives explicit meaning to our visual input.
