1 Concepts and Categories Functions of Concepts By dividing the world into classes of things to decrease the amount of information we need to learn, perceive, remember, and recognise: cognitive economy They permit us to make accurate predictions Categorization serves a communication purpose Outline Hierarchical Structure Is there a preferred level of conceptualization? Organization of Concepts classical view: defining-attribute approach prototype theory exemplar models Concept meaning Latent Semantic Analysis 1
2 Is there a preferred level of conceptualization? Superordinate level Superordinate Preferred level BASIC LEVEL Basic Subordinate level Subordinate What s special about the basic level 1) most abstract level at which objects have similar shapes 2
3 What s special about the basic level 2) development First words are learned at the basic level (e.g., doggy, car, ball) 3) Language natural level at which objects are named languages first acquire basic level terms most general maximize accuracy little predictive power BASIC most specific maximize predictive power little accuracy Basic Level and Expertise 820 RT Expert Novice 720 superordinate basic subordinate Level of Categorization 3
4 Organization of Concepts Representation of Conceptual Knowledge How do we represent concepts? How do we classify items? CLASSICAL VIEW concepts can be defined in terms of singly necessary and jointly sufficient features singly necessary: every instance of the concept must have that property jointly sufficient: every entity having all those features must be an instance of the concept Problems with Classical View Bachelor: unmarried, male, adult? 4
5 What is a game? Ludwig Wittgenstein (1953) proposed that games could not be defined or categorized by features. Rather, any game shares some family resemblance to some (but not all) other games. Prototype and Exemplar Models A new exemplar is classified based on its similarity to a stored category representation Types of representation prototype exemplar Prototypes Representations Central Tendency Learning involves abstracting a set of prototypes 5
6 Typicality Effects typical robin-bird, dog-mammal, book-reading, diamondprecious stone atypical ostrich-bird, whale-mammal, poem-reading, turquoise-precious stone Is this a chair? Is this a cat? Is this a dog? Graded Structure Typical items are similar to a prototype Typicality effects are naturally predicted atypical typical 6
7 Classification of Prototype Prototype are often easy to classify and remember Even if the prototype is never seen during learning Posner & Keele DEMO: Prototype Small Distortion Medium Distortion Large Distortion Problem with Prototype Models All information about individual exemplars is lost category size variability of the exemplars correlations among attributes (e.g., only small birds sing) Exemplar model category representation consists of storage of a number of category members New exemplars are compared to known exemplars most similar item will influence classification the most dog dog?? cat dog cat dog cat 7
8 Exemplar Models Model can explain Prototype classification effects Prototype is similar to most exemplars from a category Graded typicality How many exemplars is new item similar to? Effects of variability pizzas and rulers Overall, compared to prototype models, exemplar models better explain data from categorization experiments (Storms et al., 2000) Knowledge-based Views Murphy (2002, p. 183): Neither prototype nor exemplar models have attempted to account for knowledge effects... The problem is that these models start from a kind of tabula rasa [blank slate] representation, and concept representations are built up solely by experience with exemplars. Effect of Knowledge on Concept Learning Concept learning experiment involving two categories of children s drawings Two learning conditions: neutral labels for categories (Group 1 vs. Group 2 children) Category labels induced use of background knowledge: Creative and non-creative children created category A and B drawings respectively Note: same stimuli are used in both conditions Palmeri & Blalock (2000) 8
9 By manipulating the meaningfulness of the labels applied to those categories of drawings, subjects classified new drawings in markedly different ways. E.g., neutral labels led to an emphasis of concrete features. The creative vs. non-creative labels led to an emphasis of abstract features Background knowledge and empirical information about instances closely interact during category learning Palmeri & Blalock (2000) Acquisition of Concept Meaning What Gives Concepts Their Meaning? Goldstone and Rogosky (2002) External grounding: a concept s meaning comes from its connection to the external world Conceptual web: a concept s meaning comes from its connections to other concepts in the same conceptual system Examples of conceptual web approach: Semantic Networks Latent Semantic Analysis 9
10 Semantic Networks NORTH SOUTH EAST WEST PATIENT HOSPITAL NURSE DOCTOR LAWYER WEALTHY Hofstadter. Godel, Escher, Bach. Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA; Landauer & Dumais, 1997) is a theory of semantics in which meaning of words is learned from large text corpora (e.g., magazine articles, book chapters, newspaper articles) Basic idea: words similar in meaning occur in similar verbal contexts. Example: CAT and DOG often cooccur together in same document. Produces a feature-like representation for a word where similar words have similar representations Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) Use large corpus of written text. For example, a selection of books that a typical person might read from childhood to college (approximately 93 million words) Count number of times words occur in documents. Create a matrix of counts Use statistical methods (single value decomposition) to reduce the dimensionality of the matrix (from 50,000 to 300 dimensions) The resulting vectors (in a 300 dimensional space) are the semantic representations TERMS DOCUMENTS 1 2 D FIELD MEADOW 4 BASEBALL 10 MAJOR 5 (high dimensional space) MAJOR FOOTBALL FIELD CORN BASEBALL GRASS MEADOW 10
11 Applications of LSA Can pass various exams and tests (e.g. psychology exams and TOEFL tests) Automatically grading essays. Explaining semantic similarity & priming Performance of LSA and students on a multiple-choice psychology exam.
