What can the brain teach us about building artificial intelligence? (2016, neutral): “ is the variety of functions that these models support (A. B. Markman & Ross, 2003; Solomon, Medin, & Lynch, 1999). Beyond classication, concepts support prediction (Murphy & Ross, 1994; Rips, 1975), action (Barsalou, 1983), communication (A. B.

Names will never hurt me? Naming and the development of racial and gender categories in preschool‐aged children (2010, background): “Inductive inferences like these are powerful because they promote a strong sense of within-category coherence, (Rips, 1975; Smith & Medin, 1981), lend strength to the category itself (Goodman, 1955/1983; Shipley, 1993) and permit us to extend our knowledge beyond the limits of our own direct observa”
The Rational Basis of Representativeness (2001, methodology): “…but numerous other phenomena of categorization, comparison, and inductive inference have been attributed to the influence of representativeness (or, under different names, prototypicality or “goodness of example”; Mervis & Rosch, 1981; Osherson, Smith, Wilkie, Lopez, & Shafir, 1990; Rips, 1975).”
Metaphoric structuring: understanding time through spatial metaphors. (2000, background): “Indeed, many examples of asymmetries have been documented between items that differ in familiarity, prototypicality, or salience (e.g. Rips, 1975; Tversky, 1977).”
Generalization, similarity, and Bayesian inference. (2001, unknown): “A number of authors have proposed that similarity is the more primitive cognitive process and forms (part of) the basis for our capacity to generalize inductively (Quine, 1969; Rips, 1975; Osherson et al., 1990).”

Is Man the Measure of All Things? A Social Cognitive Account of Androcentrism (2018, background): “Finally, typical category members might lead people to draw more conclusions about the category than less typical members (e.g., people infer more about birds in general based on robins than ducks; Heit, 1998; Osherson, Smith, Wilkie, Lopez, & Shafir, 1990; Rips, 1975; for a different interpretation”
Setters and samoyeds: the emergence of subordinate level categories as a basis for inductive inference in preschool-age children. (1997, background): “Our willingness to extend a property (applied to one individual) to other individuals appears to depend on our knowledge about the property itself as well as our knowledge about the object category to which it has been applied (Coley, 1995; Goodman, 1955/1983; Heit & Rubinstein, 1994; Osherson, Lope”
Doing without Concepts (2009, methodology): “” A conclusion that is inferred from a single premise is judged to be stronger to the extent that the source category is judged to be more similar to the target category (Rips 1975; Osherson et al. 1990).”
Mental representations of social values (2010, background): “The potential importance of motivational relevance is made salient by evidence for the well-documented ‘‘similarity’’ heuristic in inductive inference (Rips, 1975), whereby arguments seem stronger when they involve transfer between similar objects in premises and conclusion than when the objects…”
