How does an intelligent visual system combine what objects look like with how they move while remaining robust as appearance changes? We addressed this question by comparing human perception and neural activity in macaque inferior temporal cortex with representations from image- and video-based neural networks spanning recognition, segmentation, optic-flow processing and predictive world modeling. Temporal integration improved object representations, but most video recognition models generalized poorly when appearance was disrupted while motion structure was preserved. Humans and macaque IT re
