{ "pk": 27852, "title": "Adults use gradient similarity information in compositional rules", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "When learning about the world, we develop mental represen-tations or concepts for things we have never seen. At the sametime, we also develop representations for things that are similarto what we have experienced. Traditionally, similarity-basedand rule-based systems have been used as distinct models tocapture conceptual representation. However, it seems implau-sible that we do not flexibly deploy both systems. Whetherboth systems can be used simultaneously to represent compo-nents of a single concept is an open empirical question. Oneexample suggesting that the use of both systems is possible isthe concept of a ZEBRA , which looks like a horse but striped.Using an artificial concept learning task, we test whether peo-ple can combine similarity and rules compositionally in orderto represent concepts. Our results suggest that people are ableto compose similarity and rules when mentally representing asingle concept.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "concept learning" }, { "word": "Conceptual representation" }, { "word": "Similarity" }, { "word": "Rules" }, { "word": "Generalization" } ], "section": "Publication-based-Talks", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8676p34d", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Lauren", "middle_name": "A", "last_name": "Oey", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Rochester", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Francis", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Mollica", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Rochester", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Steven", "middle_name": "T", "last_name": "Piantadosi", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Rochester", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "2018-01-01T10:00:00-08:00", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/27852/galley/17490/download/" } ] }
