摘要: The aim of this paper is to present an evolutionary framework for categorization. Evolution needs evaluation mechanism work, and it argued that primary values the organism its survival - such as food, mates reproduction, shelter can drive evolution categories. Sensory stimulation needed build up cognitive apparatus, but cannot in itself provide evolution. Categorization constrained by will be dependent on availability sensory information, power predictive values. As perception categorization are tied actions organism, unit should seen larger than usual singl e- dimension stimulus, evidence reviewed support claim. Covarying stimuli also a much greater pre- dictive single-dimension alone.
