Differential encoding rates for real-world and simple stimuli. (a) Encoding rate for real-world stimuli. For real-world stimuli, sufficient detail to discriminate categorically different items is encoded in less than 1 second, but information continues to accrue over the course of seconds. With enough time, sufficient detail to discriminate items at the exemplar-level or state-level can be encoded. Data and stimuli adapted from Brady et al., 2009. (b) Encoding rate for simple stimuli. For basic features and shapes, information is rapidly encoded into memory, typically reaching an asymptote at or before 100 ms. Data adapted from Vogel, Woodman & Luck, 2001.
