Abstract

In most models of categorization, the properties of category members are assumed to be independent of one another. Several sources of evidence suggest, however, that this assumption may be false, and furthermore, that the nonindependence of properties may have important consequences for categorization.In the experiments presented here, it was demonstrated that properties of natural categories occur in systematic relation to one another rather than independently.
