… In a separate article (Goldstone & Medin, in press), we have dealt extensively with the
alignment process for similarity comparisons and have described a computational model for …

▪ Abstract Perceptual learning involves relatively long-lasting changes to an organism's
perceptual system that improve its ability to respond to its environment. Four mechanisms of …

Work in philosophy and psychology has argued for a dissociation between perceptually-based
similarity and higher-level rules in conceptual thought. Although such a dissociation may …

Four experiments investigated the influence of categorization training on perceptual
discrimination. Ss were trained according to 1 of 4 different categorization regimes. Subsequent to …

… from Rl in A matching Rl in B, and R2 in A matching R2 in B. However, there will also be
microfeatures from Rl in A that match some of the microfeatures from R2 in B, because Rl and …

… Using the stimuli shown in Figure 3, Goldstone47 first gave participants categorization
training involving either brightness or size. Subsequent to categorization training, participants …

Computational models of human collective behavior offer promise in providing quantitative
and empirically verifiable accounts of how individual decisions lead to the emergence of …
