Humans effortlessly recognize many different types of things. Current research in this area suggests that there are three fundamental types of visual recognition. In a seminar format each type will be discussed in turn. Readings will be primary sources describing the major theories of how humans recognize objects (such as cars, people, and shoes), places (such as rooms, streets, and cities), and events (such as walking, playing baseball, and arguing).
