Categories support a variety of cognitive activities including inference, problem solving, explanation, and communication.Yet research on categories in cognitive psychology has primarily focused on the learning of categories from unstructured lists of features. This restricted focus has left unexplored the other ways in which categories may be learned and used.Categories in Useconsiders category learning across a variety of domains including social relationships, money, linguistic structures, engineering innovation, visual object recognition, and referential communication. The goal of the book is to look beyond boundaries of typical studies of categorization to understand how categories are used when people do not necessarily realize that they are using categories.Markman, Arthur is the author of 'Categories In Use Categories in Use' with ISBN 9780125433471 and ISBN 0125433476.
