Citations in the corpus

• Thirty categorization results in search of a model. (2000, methodology): “This stimulus set was featured in the article that introduced the context model to human psychology (Medin & Schaffer, 1978) following Medin's (1975) important comparative monograph.”
• An elemental model of associative learning: I. Latent inhibition and perceptual learning (2000, background): “Spence (1952) allowed that although animals would normally represent discriminative stimuli in an elemental fashion, they were capable, if necessary, of representing them as compounds (a black door on the left or a white door on the right)—a point of view developed by Medin (1975).”
• Context theory of classification learning. (1978, background): “attempts to demonstrate the applicability of one such theory (Medin, 1975) to learning and classification involving ill-defined categories.”
