Less is More: Stimulus-Feedback Co-Occurrence in Perceptual Category Learning
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study examined the effects of stimulus-feedback cooccurrence on rule-based and information-integration category learning. Rule-based categories are those for which a verbalizable rule is optimal. Information-integration categories are those for which the optimal rule is nonverbalizable. Participants performed a rule-based or an information-integration task where the stimulus co-occurred with the feedback (Stimulus Present) or was removed prior to feedback presentation (Stimulus Absent). Previous research examining the neural substrates of rule-based and information-integration category learning suggests that stimulus-feedback co-occurrence should support rule-based learning, but should harm information-integration learning because it will increase the prevalence of rule use. This prediction was confirmed in the current study. Implications for theories of category learning are discussed.

Feedback Effects 1 Running Head: FEEDBACK EFFECTS Feedback and Stimulus-Offset Timing Effects in Perceptual Category Learning
We examined how feedback delay and stimulus offset timing affected declarative, rule-based and procedural, information-integration category-learning. We predicted that small feedback delays of several hundred milliseconds would lead to the best information-integration learning based on a highly regarded neurobiological model of learning in the striatum. In Experiment 1 information-integration l...

Non-dimensional category learning was examined in older and younger adults using the perceptual categorization task and trial-by-trial feedback. In the linear condition, optimal categorization required a nonverbalizable linear integration of information from the two stimulus dimensions. In the nonlinear condition, optimal categorization required a nonverbalizable nonlinear integration of inform...

OBJECTIVE Recent research has identified specific cognitive deficits in patients with anorexia nervosa (AN), including impairment in executive functioning and attention. Another such cognitive process, implicit category learning has been less studied in AN. This study examined whether implicit category learning is impaired in AN. METHOD Twenty-one women diagnosed with AN and 19 control women ...
