New-feature learning: How common is it?
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 21 (1):26-26 (1998)
| Abstract | The fixed-feature viewpoint Schyns et al. are opposing is not a widely held theoretical position but rather a working assumption of cognitive psychologists – and thus a straw man. We accept their demonstration of new-feature acquisition, but question its ubiquity in category learning. We suggest that new-feature learning (at least in adults) is rarer and more difficult than the authors suggest. | |||||||||
