Although numerous contributions from divers authors, over the past fifteen years or so, have brought enriched category theory to a developed state, there is still no connected account of the theory, or even of a substantial part of it. As the applications of the theory continue to expand - some recent examples are given below - the lack of such an account is the more acutely felt. The present b...

researchers are adopting richer and more well-developed similarity-based approaches. These second-wave similarity-based approaches address some of the shortcomings of previous approaches. The 13 chapters that form this volume are broad in scope but can be characterized as couching categorization in terms of more sophisticated and precise notions of similarity. This work shows promise in elucida...

The authors conducted 4 experiments to test the decision-bound, prototype, and distribution theories for the categorization of sounds. They used as stimuli sounds varying in either resonance frequency or duration. They created different experimental conditions by varying the variance and overlap of 2 stimulus distributions used in a training phase and varying the size of the stimulus continuum ...
