Two studies tested the hypothesis that perceivers' prejudice and targets' facial expressions bias race categorization in stereotypic directions. Specifically, we hypothesized that racial prejudice would be more strongly associated with a tendency to categorize hostile (but not happy) racially ambiguous faces as African American. We obtained support for this hypothesis using both a speeded dicho...

If true, this conclusion would be important, because categorizing others by their race is a precondition for treating them differently according to race. Here we report experiments, using unobtrusive measures, show...
متن کاملCategory Levels in Hierarchical Text Categorization
We consider the problem of assigning level numbers (weights) to hierarchically organized categories during the process of text categorization. These levels control the ability of the categories to attract documents during the categorization process. The levels are adjusted in order to obtain a balance between recall and precision for each category. If a category's recall exceeds its precision, ...

The aim of this study was to evaluate category learning in schizophrenia on tests of perceptual abstraction. Participants learned to categorize simple geometrical shapes. The categories were either well-defined (discrete categories, or DCs) or ill-defined (graded categories, or GCs). In DCs, the cues defining category membership can be verbalized in an all-or-none fashion, while in GCs they can...
