Amnesic patients show superior generalization in category learning.
OBJECTIVE Generalization is the application of existing knowledge to novel situations. Questions remain about the precise role of the hippocampus in this facet of learning, but a connectionist model by Gluck and Myers (1993) predicts that generalization should be enhanced following hippocampal damage. METHOD In a two-category learning task, a group of amnesic patients (n = 9) learned the trai...
متن کاملQuantitative modeling of category learning in amnesic patients.
Category rule learning was examined in two amnesic patients using the perceptual categorization task (e.g., Ashby & Gott, 1988; Filoteo & Maddox, 1999). Traditional accuracy-based analyses as well as quantitative model-based analyses were performed. Unlike accuracy-based analyses, the model-based approach allowed us to examine both categorization rule learning and variability in the trial-by-tr...
متن کاملGeneralization and exclusive allocation of credit in unsupervised category learning.
A new way of measuring generalization in unsupervised learning is presented. The measure is based on an exclusive allocation, or credit assignment, criterion. In a classifier that satisfies the criterion, input patterns are parsed so that the credit for each input feature is assigned exclusively to one of multiple, possibly overlapping, output categories. Such a classifier achieves context-sens...
متن کاملLate-training amnesic deficits in probabilistic category learning: a neurocomputational analysis.
Building upon earlier behavioral models of animal and human learning, we explore how a psychobiological model of animal conditioning can be applied to amnesic category learning. In particular, we show that the late-training deficit found in Knowlton, Squire, and Gluck's 1994 study of amnesic category learning can be understood as a natural consequence of Gluck and Myers's (1993) theory of hippo...
متن کاملPerceptual development and category generalization.
This work is concerned with developmental changes in the structure of classifications. The central claim is that young children's undifferentiated perceptions of complex stimuli are highly structured by wholistic similarity whereas older children's perceptions are structured by component dimensions. It is shown in 2 experiments that young children systematically and spontaneously generalize a c...
