    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "The goal of this paper is to introduce a new measure of basic-level performance that we will call the \"category attentional slip.\" The idea behind it is very simple: The attentional mechanisms of an ideally rational categorizer are made to \"slip\" once in a while. We provide a formalization of attentional slip that specifies what an \"ideally rational categorizer\" is and how its attention \"slips.\" We then compare its predictive capabilities with those of two established basic-level measures: category feature-possession (Jones, 1983) and category utility (Corter & Gluck, 1992). The empirical data used for the comparisons are drawn from eight classical experiments from Murphy and Smith (1982), Murphy (1991), and Tanaka and Taylor (1991).",
