Orientation sensitivity at different stages of object processing: evidence from repetition priming and naming.

<h4>Background</h4>An ongoing debate in the object recognition literature centers on whether the shape representations used in recognition are coded in an orientation-dependent or orientation-invariant manner. In this study, we asked whether the nature of the object representation (orien...
