For my article, I plan on editing several parts of the article rather than focusing on one small portion. I will aim to add more information to the "Recognition Memory" and "Semantic Processing" sections in particular. My draft is limited so far but will continue to expand on these topics.

Final Draft

Intro
Humans are one of the few species that possess the ability of invariant visual object recognition. Both “front end” and “back end” processing are required for a species to be able to recognize objects at varying distances, angles, lighting, etc…

Context
Context allows for a much greater accuracy in object recognition. When an identifiable object is blurred, the accuracy of recognition is much greater when the object is placed in a familiar context. In addition to this, even an unfamiliar context allows for more accurate object recognition compared to the object being shown in isolation. This can be attributed to the fact that objects are typically seen in some setting rather than no setting at all. When the setting the object is in is familiar to the viewer, it becomes much easier to determine what the object is. Though context is not required to correctly recognize, it is part of the association that one makes with a certain object.

Context becomes especially important when recognizing faces or emotions. When facial emotions are presented without any context, the ability to which someone is able to accurately describe the emotion being shown is significantly lower than when context is given. This phenomena remains true across all age groups and cultures, signifying that context is essential in accurately identifying facial emotion for all individuals.

Semantic Processing
Semantic associations allow for faster object recognition. When an object has previously been associated with some sort of semantic meaning, people are more prone to correctly identify the object. Research has shown that semantic associations allow for a much quicker recognition of an object, even when the object is being viewed at varying angles. When objects are viewed at increasingly deviated angles from the traditional plane of view, objects that held learned semantic associations had lower response times compared to objects that did not hold any learned semantic associations. Thus, when object recognition becomes increasingly difficult, semantic associations allow recognition to be much easier. Similarly, a subject can be primed to recognize an object by observing an action that is simply related to the target object. This shows that objects have a set of sensory, motor and semantic associations that allow a person to correctly recognize an object. This supports the claim that the brain utilizes multiple parts when trying to accurately identify an object.

Peer Review-Andrew McAuliffe

I think the first aspect you want to review is directly citing your articles instead of writing (Source), but you probably haven't added them in yet. I am not sure how long the articles are supposed to be, but content seems quality, and brief, which should be good for wikipedia. You could add the second and third sentence under context to make it even briefer. The semantic processing section becomes a little unclear at times, but I may just have to read the entire wikipedia article to completely understand.
