Abstract

The abstraction of prototypical information was investigated as a function of instance variability, category discriminability, and category size. The results were consonant with previous studies showing the facilitative influence of category size on abstraction. Analyses revealed that subjects were more likely to count features than to average them, except when variability was low and discriminability was difficult.
