Processing is shaped by multiple tasks: There is more to rules and similarity than Rules-to-Similarity
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 July 2005
Abstract
We argue that the Rules-Similarity continuum is only a useful formalism for particular, isolated tasks and must rest on the assumption that representations formed during a particular task are independent of other tasks. We show this to be an unrealistic conjecture. We additionally point out that describing categorization as selective weighing and abstracting of features misses the important step of discovering what the possible features are.
