Description: The goal of this project is to show how distinct task goals can lead to distinct categorization strategies that are traditionally exemplar- or prototype-based. To do so, we will use a between-subjects design. Both conditions will be trained on a subset of exemplar stimuli that come from 2 prototype stimuli and then tested on both old and new exemplars and the prototypes themselves. The between-subjects manipulation will be the task goals, one of which is to categorize the training exemplars during training and the other which is to learn exemplar-scene associations.
