{ "pk": 26537, "title": "Inferring Individual Differences Between and Within Exemplar andDecision-Bound Models of Categorization", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "Different models of categorization are often treated as compet-ing accounts, but specific models are often used to understandindividual differences, by estimating individual-level param-eters. We develop an approach to understanding categoriza-tion that allows for individual differences both between andwithin models, using two prominent categorization models thatmake different theoretical assumptions: the Generalized Con-text Model (GCM) and General Recognition Theory (GRT).We develop a latent-mixture model for inferring whether anindividual uses the GCM or GRT, while simultaneously allow-ing for the use of special-case simpler strategies. The GCMsimple strategies involve attending to a single stimulus dimen-sion, while the GRT simple strategies involve using unidimen-sional decision bounds. Our model also allows for simple con-taminant strategies. We apply the model to four previouslypublished categorization experiments, finding large and inter-pretable individual differences in the use of both models andspecific strategies, depending on the nature of the stimuli andcategory structures.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "category learning; exemplar models; decisionbound models; General Recognition Theory; GeneralizedContext Model; Bayesian inference" }, { "word": "latent-mixture model" } ], "section": "Papers", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/1fg2r2tq", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Irina", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Danileiko", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of California, Irvine", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Michael", "middle_name": "D.", "last_name": "Lee", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of California, Irvine", "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/26537/galley/16173/download/" } ] }
