DESCRIPTION:Object recognition relies on invariant representations. A long
 standing view states that invariances are learned by explicitly coding how
  visual features are related in space. Here\, we asked how invariances are
  learned for objects that are defined by relations among features in time 
 (temporal objects). We trained people to classify auditory\, visual and sp
 atial temporal objects composed of four successive features into categorie
 s defined by sequential transitions across a two-dimensional feature manif
 old\, and measured their tendency to transfer this knowledge to categorise
  novel objects with rotated transition vectors. Rotation-invariant tempora
 l objects could only be learned if their features were explicitly spatial 
 or had been associated with a physical spatial location in a prior task. T
 hus\, space acts as a scaffold for generalising information in time. \nSpe
