Categorization across Fields: Insights from Learning, Cognition, and Perception

Thursday, March 9, 2023 · Brussels, Belgium

Experimental Psychology

Categorization pervades many psychological domains. In perception, identical stimuli are experienced differently depending on their categorization. In cognition, inferring a concept’s properties is category-based. And in classical conditioning, participants categorize stimuli as harmful or safe. In this symposium, we connect researchers from these fields to inspire more cross-domain interactions.
