Category discriminability, base-rate, and payoff effects in perceptual categorization.
The optimality of perceptual categorization performance under manipulations of category discriminability (i.e., d' level), base rates, and payoffs was examined. Base-rate and payoff manipulations across two category discriminabilities allowed a test of the hypothesis that the steepness of the objective reward function affects performance (i.e., the flat-maxima hypothesis), as well as the hypoth...
متن کاملBase-rate and payoff effects in multidimensional perceptual categorization.
The optimality of multidimensional perceptual categorization performance with unequal base rates and payoffs was examined. In Experiment 1, observers learned simultaneously the category structures and base rates or payoffs. Observers showed conservative cutoff placement when payoffs were unequal and extreme cutoff placement when base rates were unequal. In Experiment 2, observers were trained o...
متن کاملOn the Overestimation of Between-group Differences
The overestimation of between-group differences is a central characteristic of social stereotyping. The present review focuses on exemplar-based category learning. Evidence is presented for the assumptions that: (a) contrast effects need to be distinguished from accentuation effects; (b) both effects are general cognitive-perceptual phenomena; and (c) they affect stereotype formation as well as...
متن کاملHuman perceptual overestimation of whole body roll tilt in hypergravity.
Hypergravity provides a unique environment to study human perception of orientation. We utilized a long-radius centrifuge to study perception of both static and dynamic whole body roll tilt in hypergravity, across a range of angles, frequencies, and net gravito-inertial levels (referred to as G levels). While studies of static tilt perception in hypergravity have been published, this is the fir...
متن کاملEvolving Perceptual Categories
This paper uses sim-max games to model perceptual categorization with the goal of answering the following question: to what degree should we expect the perceptual categories of biological actors to track properties of the world around them? I will argue that an analysis of these games suggests that the relationship between real-world structure and evolved perceptual categories is mediated by su...
