Abstract

The magnitude, efficiency, and scope of learning ill-defined categories without feedback training were investigated for a wide range of stimulus-distortion conditions. The benefits of feedback are discussed in terms of choice reduction and schema formation, with the latter viewed as instrumental in preventing the formation of idiosyncratic groupings based on adventitious feature similarities in patterns from other categories.
