    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "While exceptions to a regularity might be rare, categories that\nhave exceptions are not. Previous studies on learning\ncategories that have exceptions suggested special status of\nexceptional items in memory (e.g. Palmeri & Nosofsky, 1995,\nSakamoto and Love, 2004). However, this might be true only\nfor a special kind of exceptions – those that call for forming\ncomplex binding structures, and could be learned only if they\nare fully memorized. In the two experiments in this study, we\nshow that memory for exceptions is not better than memory for\nregular category members (Experiment 1). On the contrary,\nboth children and adults had better memory for the features of\nregular items (Experiment 2). In addition, adults, but not 4-\nyear-olds, showed better memory for the rule than for\nprobabilistic features. The overall results challenge the idea of\nthe special status of exceptions in memory.",
