Comparing methods of category learning: Classification versus feature inference

摘要

The six types of category structures from Shepard et al. ( ). The diagram in the bottom right shows the assignment of the three stimulus dimensions to each dimension of the abstract category structures, i.e., the cubes. Each corner of a cube represents a category instance as composed of a feature value from each of the three binary-valued stimulus dimensions. “A” labels indicate instances of one category and “B” labels indicate instances of the other category (adapted in part from Kruschke, , and Shepard et al., )
