Categorization Method Affects the Typicality Effect: ERP Evidence from a Category-Inference Task
The typicality effect during categorization describes a phenomenon whereby typical items are more easily judged as members of a category than atypical items. Prior studies of the typicality effect have often used an inclusion task, which asks participants to assess whether an item belongs to a category. However, the correct exclusion of non-members is also an important component of effective ca...
متن کاملEffects of Contrasting Category, Conjoint Frequency and Typicality on Categorization
Two experiments were conducted to investigate whether (a) experience with a contrasting category, (b) conjoint frequency of dimensional values, (c) range of typicality of values, and (d) type of information administered during learning influenced subsequent test performance. Each experiment began with an observational category learning task, employing faces as stimuli. This was followed by a cl...
متن کاملThe Typicality Ranking Task: A New Method to Derive Typicality Judgments from Children
An alternative method for deriving typicality judgments, applicable in young children that are not familiar with numerical values yet, is introduced, allowing researchers to study gradedness at younger ages in concept development. Contrary to the long tradition of using rating-based procedures to derive typicality judgments, we propose a method that is based on typicality ranking rather than ra...
متن کاملCategory-based induction: an effect of conclusion typicality.
Category-based induction involves the willingness of a thinker to project some newly learned property of one or more classes of objects to another class on the basis of their shared membership in a common superordinate category. Previous research has established that the perceived strength of arguments of the form "Class A has Property P; therefore, Class B has Property P" is influenced by the ...
متن کاملThe Effect 1 Running Head : CATEGORY VARIABILITY The Effect of Category Variability in Perceptual Categorization Neil
Exemplar and distributional accounts of categorization make differing predictions for the classification of a critical exemplar precisely halfway between the nearest exemplars of two categories differing in variability. Under standard conditions of sequential presentation, the critical exemplar was classified into the most similar, least variable category, consistent with an exemplar account. H...
