Concepts and categories: Memory, meaning, and metaphysics (2012, background): “Learning may increase or decrease the distinctiveness of features and may even create new features (see Goldstone, 1998, 2003; Goldstone & Stevyers, 2001; Goldstone, Lippa, & Shriffin, 2001; Schyns & Rodet, 1997; Schyns, Goldstone, & Thibaut, 1998).”
The stability and flexibility of spatial categories. (2005, background): “Although researchers have begun to investigate stability and Xexibility in object categorization (Goldstone, 1995; Schyns & Murphy, 1994; Schyns & Rodet, 1997 ), relatively little is known about how stability and Xexibility operate outside the domain of object categorization.”
Closed-Loop Learning of Visual Control Policies (2011, unknown): “Obviously, this process is task driven, since different tasks do not necessarily need to make the same distinctions ( Schyns & Rodet, 1997 ).”
The contents of long-term memory and the emergence of knowledge (2009, background): “Working from a cognitive viewpoint, many authors have attempted to describe the development of categorisation systems (e.g., Goldstone, 2000; Goldstone & Barsalou, 1998; Goldstone, Medin, & Halberstadt, 1997; Schyns, Goldstone, & Thibaut, 1998; Schyns & Rodet, 1997).”
Selective Attention and Transfer Phenomena in L2 Acquisition: Contingency, Cue Competition, Salience, Interference, Overshadowing, Blocking, and Perceptual Learning (2006, background): “Schyns and Rodet (1997) demonstrated that unfamiliar parts (arbitrary curved shapes within an object) that were important in one perceptual task were more likely to be used to represent subsequent categories.”
