    "title": "Social categories as ‘excluders’: Explaining stereotyping with connectionist\nmodeling",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "A central idea in social psychology is that people can construe other people in terms of two types of mental representations:\nsocial categories (e.g. male) and attributes (e.g. intelligent). It is assumed that assigning a person to a social category\n(i.e. social categorization) is one of the most important causes of stereotyping. However, no theory has yet successfully explicated\nthe properties that distinguish social categories from attributes and how those distinct properties may cause stereotyping.\nWe show that an interpretation of social categories as mental representations that strongly exclude other mental representations\n(i.e. ’excluders’) can explain how social categories may cause stereotyping. In addition, we present computer simulations\nthat implement the assumed principles in a connectionist model where social categories are interpreted as nodes with strong\ninhibitory links. We argue that our model solves fundamental ambiguities in social categorization theories and unifies these\ntheories with connectionist models of person perception.",
