    Cogn Psychol 32:49-96. 1997
    ..These generalizations interact with taxonomic rank and suggest that the genus (or folk generic) level is relatively and in some cases absolutely privileged. Implications of these findings for theories of categorization are discussed...

    Northwestern University, Evanston, IL 60208, USA
    Psychon Bull Rev 6:562-9. 1999
    ..Furthermore, the results show nonmonotonicities and limited substitutability in a pattern that challenges straightforward ways of mapping decisions onto a common currency of utility...

    D L Medin
    Department of Psychology, Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois 60208, USA
    Annu Rev Psychol 51:121-47. 2000
    ..We discuss three types of criteria, based on structure, process, and content, that may be used to distinguish among kinds of concepts. The paper then reviews a number of possible candidates for kinds based on the discussed criteria...

    E B Lynch
    Northwestern University, Department of Psychology, Evanston, IL 60208 2710, USA

    ..Implications for models of category structure and category learning are discussed...
  6. ncbi The coincidence effect in similarity and choice
    A S Kaplan
    Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois, USA
    Mem Cognit 25:570-6. 1997
    ..The overall pattern of results suggests the presence of dimensional weighting processes sensitive to task characteristics and operating somewhat differently for similarity and decision making...
  7. ncbi Similarity of the perimeters in the Ebbinghaus illusion
    J M Choplin
    Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois, USA
    Percept Psychophys 61:3-12. 1999
    ..These results suggest that the information used to estimate size is computed earlier in the visual system than suggested by Coren and colleagues and apparently does not involve the use of conceptual information...
  8. ncbi Expertise and category-based induction
    J B Proffitt
    Department of Psychology, Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois 60207 2710, USA
    J Exp Psychol Learn Mem Cogn 26:811-28. 2000

    Psychon Bull Rev 6:328-37. 1999
    ..Our data reinforce the idea of comparison asymmetries but suggest that similarity rating asymmetries are only observed under quite circumscribed conditions...
