The Dynamics of Active Categorical Perception in an Evolved Model Agent (2003, background): “Indeed, it has been argued that categorical perception, as this activity is often called, may provide a necessary substrate for higher cognition (Harnad, 1987), making it particularly appropriate for detailed study as a minimally cognitive behavior.”
