Extracting exemplars and prototypes

چکیده
Next, we transform using the multinomial2logical function the multinomial predictors into dummy predictor variables , which are simply true or false for each categorical value of the selected multinomial variables. The think data frame has three extralinguistic variables that we have decided to exclude from the following statistical modeling, namely Register, Section, and Author (which are columns 25, 26, and 27 in the original data frame). The results of this conversion are stored in the data frame think.logical.

Recognition memory is modulated by visual similarity.
We used event-related fMRI to test whether recognition memory depends on visual similarity between familiar prototypes and novel exemplars. Subjects memorized portraits, landscapes, and abstract compositions by six painters with a unique style, and later performed a memory recognition task. The prototypes were presented with new exemplars that were either visually similar or dissimilar. Behavio...
متن کاملA Prototype-Exemplars Hybrid Cognitive Model of “Phenomenon of Typicality” in Categorization: A Case Study in Biological Classification
In this paper we introduce a new machine learning system developed to investigate the phenomenon of typicality in categorization processes of human mind. Experimental researches in cognitive psychology produced a lot of evidences that categorization is a process based on similarity between observed instances and representative instances, which constitutes the concept acquired by human mind. Con...
متن کاملAre prototypes and exemplars used in distinct cognitive processes?
We argue that Machery provides no convincing evidence that prototypes and exemplars are typically used in distinct cognitive processes. This partially undermines the fourth tenet of the Heterogeneity Hypothesis and thus casts doubts on Machery's way of splitting concepts into different kinds. Although Machery may be right that concepts split into different kinds, such kinds may be different fro...
متن کاملFrom Prototypes to Exemplars: Representational Shifts in a Probability Judgment Task
What information is used to make subjective probability judgments? In this study we test a hypothesis, grounded both in research on categorization and developmental psychology, proposing that when first confronted with an environment people create prototypes and as a function of learning they start to store concrete exemplars. The hypothesis implies that this representational shift will appear ...
متن کاملAuditory Category Perception as a Natural Cognitive Activity in Songbirds
Categorization is the basic process of sorting discriminably different exemplars into classes or categories. Zentall, Galizio, and Critchfield (2002) expanded this to say that categorization is the process of determining what things belong together and a category is a group or class of stimuli or The authors summarize progress in research on how songbirds (oscines) categorize the acoustic commu...
