Theory-based categorization under speeded conditions.
It is widely accepted that similarity influences rapid categorization, whereas theories can influence only more leisurely category judgments. In contrast, we argue that it is not the type of knowledge used that determines categorization speed, but rather the complexity of the categorization processes. In two experiments, participants learned four categories of items, each consisting of three ca...
متن کاملTheories and Similarity: Categorization under Speeded Conditions
A largely accepted view in the categorization literature is that similarity-based reasoning is faster than theory-based reasoning. In the current study, we explored whether theorybased categorization behavior would continue to be observed when people are forced to make category decisions under time pressure. As a specific test of the theory-based view to category representation we examined the ...
متن کاملInformation-accumulation theory of speeded categorization.
A process model of perceptual categorization is presented, in which it is assumed that the earliest stages of categorization involve gradual accumulation of information about object features. The model provides a joint account of categorization choice proportions and response times by assuming that the probability that the information-accumulation process stops at a given time after stimulus pr...
متن کاملSegmentation precedes face categorization under suboptimal conditions
Both categorization and segmentation processes play a crucial role in face perception. However, the functional relation between these subprocesses is currently unclear. The present study investigates the temporal relation between segmentation-related and category-selective responses in the brain, using electroencephalography (EEG). Surface segmentation and category content were both manipulated...
