The process of constructing concepts underpins our capacity to
encode information in an efficient and competent manner and also,
ultimately, our ability to think in terms of abstract ideas such as
justice, love and happiness. But what are the mechanisms which
correspond to psychological categorization processes? This book
unites many prominent approaches in modelling categorization. Each
chapter focuses on a particular formal approach to categorization,
presented by the proponent(s) or advocate(s) of that approach, and
the authors consider the relation of this approach to other models
and the ultimate objectives in their research programmes. The
volume evaluates progress that has been made in the field and
potential future developments. This is an essential companion to
any scientist interested in the formal description of
categorization and, more generally, in formal approaches to
cognition. It will be the definitive guide to formal approaches in
categorization research for years to come.
