A unified general theory of human concept learning based on the idea that humans detect
invariance patterns in categorical stimuli as a necessary precursor to concept formation is …

What is information? Although researchers have used the construct of information liberally to
refer to pertinent forms of domain-specific knowledge, relatively few have attempted to …

The ability to learn concepts lies at the very core of human cognition, enabling us to
efficiently classify, organize, identify, and store complex information. In view of the basic role …

The quest for determining the degree of learning difficulty associated with different types of
categories has been instrumental in our understanding of human categorization behavior …

Studies focusing on unsupervised categorization and sorting behavior have traditionally
identified and empirically isolated a few select strategies frequently employed by observers …

Previous research has demonstrated that attentional prioritization is shaped by prior
experience of reward uncertainty: Attention is more likely to be captured by a stimulus …

Although significant progress has been made with respect to our understanding of
categorization and concept learning behaviour in adults, much less is known about how this …

In the past two decades, human categorisation research has achieved significant progress
via the rigorous and systematic study of concepts in terms of category structures and their …

In the current research, we tested the idea that the proximity of contrasting categories in a
learning sequence would determine the features to which participants attend in a …

We explored the nature of human informativeness judgments: namely, people's judgments
about the quantity of information that object stimuli convey about the category of objects to …
