- Separating the sheep from the goats: Differentiating global categories ☆ (1991, background): “As far as the animal domain is concerned, the entry point in the formation of a hierarchical categorization system may be either at what Berlin et al. (1973) call the “unique beginner level” (the highest level in the domain) or at the next level down, the “life form” level.”
- Evolution and Devolution of Knowledge: A Tale of Two Biologies (2004, background): “Consistent with this devolutionary pattern, we found that American students from Northwestern University tend to identify tree and bird species only at the life-form level (‘tree’, ‘bird’) (Bailenson, Shum, Atran, Medin & Coley 2002; Coley, Medin, Proffitt, Lynch & Atran 1999).”
- The vernacular concept of innateness (2009, background): “One widely documented feature of folk biological categories is that they are hierarchically structured (Berlin, Breedlove, and Raven, 1973; Atran, 1990; Berlin, 1992).”
- SUSTAIN: a network model of category learning. (2004, methodology): “SUSTAIN’s clustering method may prove useful in understanding how humans individuate in general (cf., Barsalou, Huttenlocher, Lamberts, 1998 ).”
- Memory and Mystery: The Cultural Selection of Minimally Counterintuitive Narratives (2006, result): “Unlike the findings of Barrett and Nyhof (2001) and Boyer and Ramble (2001), but consistent with the early classic experiments of Bartlett (1932), intuitive ideas showed better recall rates than MCI ones.”
- Culture and Cognition (2002, background): “Berlin and colleagues (Berlin, 1992; Berlin et al., 1973) showed that, in spite of wide variation in the plants and animals that any particular group comes in contact with, and despite the fact that many of these plants and animals lack any cultural significance for the particular group, there is…”
