My research goal is to expand our understanding of
categorization and recognition behavior. The general approach that I
take is to focus on predictions made by various computational models,
such as formalized exemplar and prototype models of categorization and
recognition, and guide my empirical research accordingly. In general, I
then collect empirical data and investigate how well these models that
embody certain representation principles account for the observed
behavior. The successes and failures of these models are instructive
with regard to the underlying cognitive architecture of categorization
and recognition processes.
