How do people recognize an object in a novel orientation? Psychophysical and neurophysiological studies have suggested that extensive practice is required before observers can recognize an object that has been rotated to a new orientation Because object orientation frequently varies with object movement, we examined whether observers might more readily recognize a moving object in a new orientation Results from a priming study indicate that motion significantly and readily enhances the recognition of new object orientations when those orientations fall within the path of the motion That is motion promotes view-invariant object recognition without practice
