Prior knowledge enhances the category dimensionality effect.
A study of the combined influence of prior knowledge and stimulus dimensionality on category learning was conducted. Subjects learned category structures with the same number of necessary dimensions but with more or fewer additional, redundant dimensions and with either knowledge-related or knowledge-unrelated features. Minimal-learning models predict that all subjects, regardless of condition,...
متن کاملCategory learning with minimal prior knowledge.
In 6 experiments, the authors examined the use of prior knowledge in category learning. Previous studies of the effects of knowledge on category learning have used categories in which knowledge was related to all of the category's features. However, people's knowledge of real-world categories often consists of many "rote" features that are not related to their prior knowledge. Five experiments ...
متن کاملThe effects of prior knowledge on incidental category learning.
This article describes 5 experiments investigating the role of prior knowledge in incidental category learning. Experiments 1 to 3 showed that prior knowledge improved learning only if the categories in a given set were related to contrasting themes; there was no consistent knowledge effect if the categories were related to the same theme. Experiments 4 and 5 showed that diagnostic verbal label...
متن کاملModels of the effects of prior knowledge on category learning.
When people learn about a new category, they are influenced by prior knowledge of other categories. In 5 experiments, subjects made categorization judgments after observing descriptions of persons from a location referred to as City W. In these experiments, prior knowledge as well as observations within City W were manipulated. The integration, weighting, and distortion models of categorization...
