But what are the mechanisms which correspond to psychological categorization processes? This book unites many prominent approaches in modelling categorization. Each chapter focuses on a particular formal approach to categorization, presented by the proponent(s) or advocate(s) of that approach, and the authors consider the relation of this approach to other models and the ultimate objectives in their research programmes. The volume evaluates progress that has been made in the field and where it goes from here. This is an essential companion to any scientist interested in the formal description of categorization and, more generally, in formal approaches to cognition. It will be the definitive guide to formal approaches in categorization research for years to come. 0aCategorization (Psychology)1 aPothos, Emmanuel M.,eeditor of compilation.1 aWills, Andy J.,eeditor of compilation.08iPrint version: z978052119048040uhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1017/CBO9780511921322
