The Influence Of Probability Of Material Similarity On Category Construction

Classification is a basic human thought process, is an important cognitive ability, we adopted the classification categories of knowledge can be obtained, for the same kinds of things do the same and similar reactions manner, thus greatly reducing the burden of memory.Tianjin Normal University,120randomly selected visual intelligence are normal college students were tested, using the standard-matching program, carried out two experiments to explore the effects of different materials first, and different types of similarity probability class constructor strategy the second experiment is to investigate the effect of different spatial latitude and similarity probability class constructor strategy to test the grounds are classified based on the results and interpretation, with a single dimension classification, classification and other family resemblance classification as the dependent variable index by group the combination between the inner set of hybrid design experiment. The experimental results were used SPSS17.0X2test.Conclusions as follows:First, whether the material is geometry integrated graphics materials or Naturally integrated graphics material, in the high probability of similarity (1/2), subjects tend to use a single dimension to classify, in the high probability of similarity (3/4), subjects tend to use family resemblance to classify. Second, whether the materials is spatial separation or spatial integration, in the high probability of similarity (1/2), subjects tend to use a single dimension to classify, in the high probability of similarity (3/4), subjects tend to use family resemblance to classify.
