“…Repetition suppression shares many of the empirical characteristics of repetition priming: it is relatively automatic, even occurring in animals under anesthesia (e.g., Miller, Gochin, & Gross, 1991); it can be long-lasting following a small number of stimulus exposures (up to several days, e.g., van Turennout et al, 2000van Turennout et al, , 2003, although effects are strongest with little or no delay (e.g., Grill-Spector & Malach, 2001;Jiang et al, 2000;van Turennout et al, 2003); it is robust to small changes in stimulus form and/or task, with the largest effects when stimuli and tasks are identical across repetition (e.g., Horner & Henson, 2008;Koutstaal et al, 2001;Lueschow, Miller, & Desimone, 1994). Repetition suppression in humans is typically observed throughout the neocortex within regions that are engaged by the task being performed (see Schacter & Buckner, 1998;Wiggs & Martin, 1998, for reviews).…”
