Psychology Cognitive Psychology unsupervised learning audio concept learning mathematical modeling invariance neural networks Categorization and concept-learning has a long-standing influence on the field of psychology because the notions of concept-learning are key to how individuals learn. Central to this idea is; how do we categorize stimuli that vary according to different dimensions? How do we categorize stimuli under different conditions? How do we store these categorizes as mental representations? And does the modality of the stimuli affect our construction of a mental concept, and to what extent does this affect categorization behavior? To partially answer this last question, it has been determined that the modality of a stimulus does influence categorization behavior but the extent of this is unknown. The current dissertation explores the manner in which stimulus modality, relationships between stimulus dimensions, and learning method affects categorization behavior. Two experiments are conducted in order to examine the auditory dimensions individuals attend to when making comparisons, and how individuals spontaneously categorize auditory stimuli based on the attended dimensions. Participant’s data was then examined according to three models of unsupervised learning: the simplicity model, SUSTAIN, and GISTM. 2015-09-17 English text Ohio University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1433406793 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1433406793 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
