Psychological Foundations of Social Group Categorization
Being able to distinguish “us” from “them” is a core cognitive capacity. This symposium explores how social category learning develops and examines the features besides linguistic group labels that adults and children rely on to build social groups and hierarchies—observations of others’ choices and trait inferences from targets’ faces.
