摘要: Traditionally, research demonstrating categorical perception (CP) has assumed that CP occurs only in cases where natural continua are divided categorically by long-term learning or innate perceptual programming. More recent suggests this may not be true, and even novel between stimuli such as unfamiliar faces can show effects well. Given this, we ask whether is dependent solely on the representation of individual stimuli, stimulus categories themselves also cause CP. Here, test hypothesis cross boundary races an enhanced effect. We find running from a black face to white do, indeed, stronger than two faces. This when run distinctly represented further those individuals are, turn, members different categories.
