From stimulus onset to category selectivity in 100ms: category-selective visually evoked responses as a result of extensive category learning

Stimulus modality interacts with category structure in perceptual category learning.

Two experiments were conducted that examined information integration and rule-based category learning, using stimuli that contained auditory and visual information. The results suggest that it is easier to perceptually integrate information within these sensory modalities than across modalities. Conversely, it is easier to perform a disjunctive rule-based task when information comes from differ...

Stimulus Modality and Perceptual Category Learning 1 Stimulus Modality Interacts with Category Structure in Perceptual Category Learning

Results suggest that it is easier to perceptually integrate information within these sensory modalities than across modalities.

Category use and category learning.

Categorization models based on laboratory research focus on a narrower range of explanatory constructs than appears necessary for explaining the structure of natural categories. This mismatch is caused by the reliance on classification as the basis of laboratory studies. Category representations are formed in the process of interacting with category members. Thus, laboratory studies must explor...

Development of selective attention in category learning

Categorization, the process of grouping distinguishable entities into equivalence classes, is an essential component of human cognition. Although it has been often argued that selective attention is an important component of categorization, organism with immature selective attention (such as human infants or young children) exhibit the ability to learn categories. This research addresses this a...
