Base-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 relation between decision rules and perceptual representation in multidimensional perceptual categorization.
This article examines the relation between changing categorization decision rules and the nature of the underlying perceptual representation. Observers completed a matching task that required them to adjust the length and orientation of a single line stimulus until they perceived it to "match" a second line stimulus (Alfonso-Reese, 1996, 1997). The same observers then completed four categorizat...
متن کاملDirect estimation of multidimensional perceptual distributions: assessing hue and form.
The procedures developed to assess the perceptual and decisional processes associated with detection in multidimensional space all require specialized statistical skills and analysis programs. The present article describes a regression model, designed to assess dimensional interactions, that is both computationally simpler and more accessible than those procedures. The papervalidates the regres...
متن کاملPerceptual contrast and response assimilation in sequential categorization without feedback
Sequential categorization of perceptual stimuli typically shows contrast from one trial to the next. Using familiar categories of animals and faces, contrast effects were dissociated from assimilation effects. Two independent main effects were observed: contrast to the preceding stimulus, and assimilation to the previous response. It is argued that contrast and assimilation may reflect differen...
متن کاملPractice and Preparation Time Facilitate System-Switching in Perceptual Categorization
Mounting evidence suggests that category learning is achieved using different psychological and biological systems. While existing multiple-system theories and models of categorization may disagree about the number or nature of the different systems, all assume that people can switch between systems seamlessly. However, little empirical data has been collected to test this assumption, and recen...
