Typicality in logically defined categories: exemplar-similarity versus rule instantiation.
A rule-instantiation model and a similarity-to-exemplars model were contrasted in terms of their predictions of typicality judgments and speeded classifications for members of logically defined categories. In Experiment 1, subjects learned a unidimensional rule based on the size of objects. It was assumed that items that maximally instantiated the rule were those farthest from the category boun...
متن کاملExemplar similarity and rule application.
We report four experiments examining effects of instance similarity on the application of simple explicit rules. We found effects of similarity to illustrative exemplars in error patterns and reaction times. These effects arose even though participants were given perfectly predictive rules, the similarity manipulation depended entirely on rule-irrelevant features, and attention to exemplar simi...
متن کاملRule and Exemplar Representation in Rule-defined Category Structures
In learning a classification task, people can recruit different representations of the category structure. We argue that (a) group data should be analyzed so that only participants who exhibit similar behaviors are combined for later analysis, and (b) that individual performance can be well characterized as a combination of multiple exemplar and rule-based representations. These claims are test...
متن کاملAn exemplar model of classification and typicality in simple and combined categories
This paper describes a new model of classification and typicality which explains a number of empirical results in simple and combined categories. In this exemplarbased model, classification is based on the diagnostic and plausible evidence of attributes. The model explains the family resemblance structure of simple categories, the overextension of typicality in some combined categories, and peo...
متن کاملCategorization and Typicality 1 Similarity-based Categorization and Fuzziness of Natural Categories Categorization and Typicality 2 Similarity-based Categorization and Fuzziness of Natural Categories
The adequacy of similarity to prototype as an account of categorization in natural concepts was assessed by analyzing the monotonicity of the relation between typicality of an item in a category and the probability of a positive categorization response using data from McCloskey & Glucksberg (1978). The analysis revealed a strong underlying similarity-based threshold curve, with systematic devia...
