{"pk":26166,"title":"Factors Influencing Categorization Strategy in Visual Category Learning","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Studies in visual category learning show that participants usedifferent category generalization strategies. Some studies re-port a preference for a rule-based strategy, while others reporta preference for a similarity-based strategy. We conducted cat-egory learning experiments in which we varied three variables— family resemblance of a category, saliency of the definingrule and presentation of transfer stimulus after a delay. Ourresults show that these factors influence the choice of categorygeneralization strategy. Our study offers a possible explanationfor the divergent results in the literature.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"visual category learning; supervised learning;generalization; family resemblance; defining rule saliency"}],"section":"Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/44p0j9sw","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Sujith","middle_name":"","last_name":"Thomas","name_suffix":"","institution":"Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur","department":""},{"first_name":"Harish","middle_name":"","last_name":"Karnick","name_suffix":"","institution":"Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2016-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/26166/galley/15802/download/"}]}
