TL;DR: In two experiments subjects learned to assign each of 100 cards to one of six alternative classes on the basis of four binary cue dimensions, and estimated the proportion of cards in each class and the relative frequency of each cue value.

TL;DR: This work proposes a new more quantitatively precise conception of chunk derived from the notion of Kolmogorov complexity and compressibility: a chunk is a unit in a maximally compressed code.

Decision-Tree Models of Categorization Response Times, Choice Proportions, and Typicality Judgments.
TL;DR: The authors present 3 decision-tree models of categorization adapted from T. Trabasso, H. Rollins, and E. Shaughnessy (1971) and use them to provide a quantitative account of categization response times, choice proportions, and typicality judgments at the individual-participant level.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a theoretical framework for the learning of logical classification rules in perceptual categorization task with multidimensional stimuli, which consists in approximating décision trees that represent the séquence of feature tests performed when classifying each of the stimuli.

Assessing Conceptual Complexity and Compressibility Using Information Gain and Mutual Information
Fabien Mathy
- 01 Mar 2010
TL;DR: A few basic notions stemming from information theory are presented with the intention of modeling the abstraction of relevant information in categorization tasks and it is indicated that these notions can account for both strategies and performance in subjects trying to simplify a learning process.

A Study of Thinking.
Abstract: A Study of Thinking is a pioneering account of how human beings achieve a measure of rationality in spite of the constraints imposed by bias, limited attention and memory, and the risks of error imposed by pressures of time and ignorance. First published in 1956 and hailed at its appearance as a groundbreaking study, it is still read three decades later as a major contribution to our understanding of the mind. In their insightful new introduction, the authors relate the book to the cognitive revolution and its handmaiden, artificial intelligence.

TL;DR: A warning device associated with arotatable body comprising means on the rotatable body for creating a magnetic field, a receiving coil on a relatively stationary member arranged such that a warning is given upon occurrence of a predetermined condition, such as pressure of a vehicle wheel deviating outside a predetermined limit.
