    "title": "Linear Separability as a Constraint on Information Integration",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "In this paper we examined the extent to which\nlinear separability constrained learning and\ncategorization in different content domains.\nLinear separability has been a focus of research\nin many different areas such as categorization,\nconnectionist modeling, machine learning, and\nsocial cognition. In relation to categorization,\nlinearly separable (LS) categories are categories\nthat can be perfectly partitioned on the basis of\na weighted, additive combination of component\ninformation. W e examined the importance of\nlinear separability in object and social domains.\nAcross seven exp)eriments that used a wide\nvariety of stimulus materials and classification\ntasks, LS structures were found to be more\ncompatible with social than object materials.\nNonlincarly separable structures, however, were\nmore compatible with object than social\nmaterials. This interaction between linear\nseparability and content domain was attributed\nto differences in the types of knowledge and\nintegration strategies that were activated. It was\nconcluded that the structure of knowledge varies\nwith domain, and consequently it will be\ndifficult to formulate domain general constraints\nin terms of abstract structural properties such as\nlinear separability.",
