The structure of hippocampal circuitry relates to rapid category learning in humans

DOI: 10.1002/hipo.23382
Abstract: Prior work suggests that complementary white matter pathways within the hippocampus (HPC) differentially support the learning of specific versus general information. In particular, while the trisynaptic pathway (TSP) rapidly forms memories for specific experiences, the… read more here.

Category learning judgments in the classroom: Can students judge how well they know course topics?
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Contemporary Educational Psychology"
DOI: 10.1016/j.cedpsych.2016.12.002
Abstract: Abstract A category learning judgment (CLJ) involves judging one’s learning or performance for a given topic or category. The present study was the first to investigate CLJs in a classroom, where students’ judgments of how… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jecp.2019.104673
Abstract: Adults outperform children on category learning that requires selective attention to individual dimensions (rule-based categories) due to their more highly developed working memory abilities, but much less is known about developmental differences in learning categories… read more here.

Auditory and visual category learning in children and adults.
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "Developmental psychology"
DOI: 10.1037/dev0001525
Abstract: Categories are fundamental to everyday life and the ability to learn new categories is relevant across the lifespan. Categories are ubiquitous across modalities, supporting complex processes such as object recognition and speech perception. Prior work… read more here.

DOI: 10.1037/xan0000339
Abstract: Associative accounts of category learning have been, for the most part, abandoned in favor of cognitive explanations (e.g., similarity, explicit rules). In the current work, we implement an Adaptive Linear Filter (ALF) closely related to… read more here.

Learning Relational Concepts From Within- Versus Between-Category Comparisons
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Journal of Experimental Psychology: General"
DOI: 10.1037/xge0000517
Abstract: This article examines relational category learning in light of 2 influential theories of concept acquisition: the structure-mapping theory of analogy and theories of feature-based category learning. According to current theories of analogy, comparing 2 instances… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41562-018-0370-z
Abstract: Virtually all cognitive theories of category learning (such as prototype theory1–5 and exemplar theory6–8) view this important skill as a high-level process that uses abstract representations of objects in the world. Because these representations are… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.1811992116
Abstract: Significance Humans are born as “universal listeners.” However, over the first year, infants’ perception is shaped by native speech categories. How do these categories naturally emerge without explicit training or overt feedback? Using fMRI, we… read more here.

The benefit of interleaved presentation in category learning is independent of working memory

DOI: 10.1080/09658211.2019.1705490
Abstract: ABSTRACT We tested whether working memory (WM) resources were necessary for the interleaved presentation benefit over blocked presentation in category learning. We examined category learning in the Kornell and Bjork [2008. Learning concepts and categories:… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/10888438.2019.1566908
Abstract: ABSTRACT Poor comprehenders (PCs) are characterized by poor reading comprehension despite intact decoding and general cognitive ability. Poor word meaning knowledge is one of the earliest deficits associated with a PC profile. We examined processes… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/cercor/bhaa029
Abstract: Humans are able to categorize things they encounter in the world (e.g., a cat) by integrating multisensory information from the auditory and visual modalities with ease and speed. However, how the brain learns multisensory categories… read more here.
