Classical (Bayesian) probability (CP) theory has led to an influential research tradition for
modeling cognitive processes. Cognitive scientists have been trained to work with CP …

Categorization is essential for survival, and it is a widely studied cognitive adaptation in
humans and animals. An influential neuroscience perspective differentiates in humans an …

The ability to categorize sensory stimuli is crucial for an animal's survival in a complex
environment. Memorizing categories instead of individual exemplars enables greater …

The first neurobiologically detailed theory of multiple systems in category learning, called
COVIS, was originally conceived in 1998. COVIS, which is now well established, postulates …

Categorization is one of the fundamental building blocks of cognition, and the study of
categorization is notable for the extent to which formal modeling has been a central and …

To explain animal learning, researchers invoke a dominant associative construct. In contrast,
researchers freely acknowledge humans' explicit-declarative learning capacity. Here, we …

Working memory is crucial for many higher level cognitive functions, ranging from mental
arithmetic to reasoning and problem solving. Likewise, the ability to learn and categorize …

One of the most difficult category learning problems for humans is learning nonnative
speech categories. While feedback-based category training can enhance speech learning …

The controversy over multiple category-learning systems is reminiscent of the controversy
over multiple memory systems. Researchers continue to seek paradigms to sharply …

Macphail's “null hypothesis,” that there are no differences in intelligence, qualitative, or
quantitative, between non-human vertebrates has been controversial. This controversy can …
