    "title": "Ready to Learn: Predictive Exposure to Category-Relevant Regularities Facilitates Novel Category Learning",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Prior evidence suggests that category learning can occur\nimplicitly by detecting regular co-occurrences of features\nwithin categories. Less studied is whether regularities wherein\ncategory membership predicts other events or actions also\nfoster category learning. Moreover, we know little about\nwhether, and to what degree, exposure to these regularities\nfacilitates subsequent supervised learning. Here, participants\nwere pre-exposed to exemplars from two categories during a\ncover task, while uninformed of their category membership.\nPre-exposure occurred under conditions in which category\nmembership did (Predictive Mapping) or did not (Mere\nExposure) predict task events to which participants responded.\nBaseline participants completed the same task with category-\nirrelevant stimuli. Subsequently, all participants were taught\nthe categories (using pre-exposure exemplars) under explicit\nsupervision. Whereas neither Predictive Mapping nor Mere\nExposure influenced cover task performance (vs. Baseline),\nPredictive Mapping substantially improved subsequent\nsupervised category learning. These findings point to latent\ncategory learning given pre-exposure to Predictive Mapping\nregularities.",
