{"pk":31772,"title":"The Ontogeny of Transformable Part Representations in Object Concepts","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Many theories of object categorization assume that objects\nare represented in terms of components-attributes such as\nparts, functions and perceptual properties. The origin of\nthese components has been neglected in concept learning\ntheories. W e provide further evidence for a theory of part\nontogeny in which parts are not simply given by\nperceptual information but develop over the course of\ncategory learning. T w o experiments are reported. T h e\nexperiments showed that subjects could identify a\ncomponent of u n k n o w n stimuli as a part in spite of\nvariation in its shape across exemplars of the category.\nHowever, the experiments also revealed perceptual\nconstraints on what variations could be identified as the\nsame part.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Submitted Presentations","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/015649xs","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Philippe","middle_name":"G.","last_name":"Schyns","name_suffix":"","institution":"Massachusetts Institute of Technology","department":""},{"first_name":"Gregory","middle_name":"L.","last_name":"Murphy","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Illinois","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"1993-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/31772/galley/22840/download/"}]}
