  3. Article ; Online: On what it means to automatize a rule.

    Abstract The results of two experiments are reported that included a combined total of approximately 633,000 categorization trials. The experiments investigated the nature of what is automatized after lengthy practice with a rule-guided behavior. The results of both experiments suggest that an abstract rule, if interpreted as a verbal-based strategy, was not automatized during training, but rather the automatization linked a set of stimuli with similar values on one visual dimension to a common motor response. The experiments were designed to test and refine a recent neurocomputational model of how rule-guided behaviors become automatic (Kovacs, Hélie, Tran, & Ashby, 2021). The model assumes that rule-guided behaviors are initially controlled by a distributed neural network centered on rule units in prefrontal cortex, and that in addition to initiating behavior, this network also trains a faster and more direct network that includes projections from visual cortex directly to the rule-sensitive neurons in premotor cortex. The present results support this model and suggest that the projections from visual cortex to prefrontal and premotor cortex are restricted to visual representations of the relevant stimulus dimension only.

    Abstract In rule-based (RB) category-learning tasks, the optimal strategy is a simple explicit rule, whereas in information-integration (II) tasks, the optimal strategy is impossible to describe verbally. This study investigates the effects of two different category properties on learning difficulty in category learning tasks-namely, linear separability and variability on stimulus dimensions that are irrelevant to the categorization decision. Previous research had reported that linearly separable II categories are easier to learn than nonlinearly separable categories, but Experiment 1, which compared performance on linearly and nonlinearly separable categories that were equated as closely as possible on all other factors that might affect difficulty, found that linear separability had no effect on learning. Experiments 1 and 2 together also established a novel dissociation between RB and II category learning: increasing variability on irrelevant stimulus dimensions impaired II learning but not RB learning. These results are all predicted by the best available measures of difficulty in RB and II tasks. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved).

    Abstract A probabilistic, multidimensional model is described that accounts for sensory and hedonic ratings that are collected from the same experiment. The model combines a general recognition theory model of the sensory ratings with Coombs' unfolding model of the hedonic ratings. The model uses sensory ratings to build a probabilistic, multidimensional representation of the sensory experiences elicited by exposure to each stimulus, and it also builds a similar representation of the hypothetical ideal stimulus in this same space. It accounts for hedonic ratings by measuring differences between the presented stimulus and the imagined ideal on each rated sensory dimension. Therefore, it provides precise estimates of the sensory qualities of the ideal on all rated sensory dimensions. The model is tested successfully against data from a new experiment.

    Abstract Despite much research, the role of the medial temporal lobes (MTL) in category learning is unclear. Two unstructured categorization experiments explored conditions that might recruit MTL category learning and memory systems-namely, whether the stimulus display includes one or two stimuli, and whether category membership depends on configural properties of the stimulus features. The results supported three conclusions. First, in agreement with prior research, learning with single stimulus displays depended on striatal-mediated procedural learning. Second, and most important, learning with pair displays was mediated by MTL declarative memory systems. Third, the use of stimuli in which category membership depends on configural properties of the stimulus features made MTL learning slightly more likely. Overall, the results suggested that the MTL are most likely to mediate learning when the participant must decide which of two configural stimuli belongs to a selected category.

    Abstract Providing verbal or written instructions on how to perform optimally in a task is one of the most common ways to teach beginners. This practice is so widely accepted that scholarship primarily focuses on how to provide instructions, not whether these instructions help or not. Here we investigate the benefits of prior instruction on rule-based (RB) category-learning, in which the optimal strategy is a simple explicit rule, and information-integration (II) category-learning, in which the optimal strategy is similarity-based. Participants (N = 58) learned either RB or II categories, with or without verbal and written instruction about the optimal categorization strategy. Instructions significantly improved performance with RB categories but had no effect with II categories. The theoretical and practical implication of these results is discussed.

    Abstract Predicting human performance in perceptual categorization tasks in which category membership is determined by similarity has been historically difficult. This article proposes a novel biologically motivated difficulty measure that can be generalized across stimulus types and category structures. The new measure is compared to 12 previously proposed measures on four extensive data sets that each included multiple conditions that varied in difficulty. The studies were highly diverse and included experiments with both continuous- and binary-valued stimulus dimensions, a variety of different stimulus types, and both linearly and nonlinearly separable categories. Across these four applications, the new measure was the most successful at predicting the observed rank ordering of conditions by difficulty, and it was also the most accurate at predicting the numerical values of the mean error rates in each condition.

    Abstract Humans learn categorization rules that are aligned with separable dimensions through a rule-based learning system, which makes learning faster and easier to generalize than categorization rules that require integration of information from different dimensions. Recent research suggests that learning to categorize objects along a completely novel dimension changes its perceptual representation, making it more separable and discriminable. Here, we asked whether such newly learned dimensions could support rule-based category learning. One group received extensive categorization training and a second group did not receive such training. Later, both groups were trained in a task that made use of the category-relevant dimension, and then tested in an analogical transfer task (Experiment 1) and a button-switch interference task (Experiment 2). We expected that only the group with extensive pre-training (with well-learned dimensional representations) would show evidence of rule-based behavior in these tasks. Surprisingly, both groups performed as expected from rule-based learning. A third experiment tested whether a single session (less than 1 h) of training in a categorization task would facilitate learning in a task requiring executive function. There was a substantial learning advantage for a group with brief pre-training with the relevant dimension. We hypothesize that extensive experience with separable dimensions is not required for rule-based category learning; rather, the rule-based system may learn representations "on the fly" that allow rule application. We discuss what kind of neurocomputational model might explain these data best.

    Abstract There is now much evidence that humans have multiple memory systems, and evidence is also building that other cognitive processes are mediated by multiple systems. Even so, several recent articles have questioned the existence of multiple cognitive systems, and a number of these have based their arguments on results from state-trace analysis. State-trace analysis was not developed for this purpose but, rather, to identify data sets that are consistent with variation in a single parameter. All previous applications have assumed that state-trace plots in which the data fall on separate curves rule out any model in which only a single parameter varies across the two tasks under study. Unfortunately, this assumption is incorrect. Models in which only one parameter varies can generate any type of state-trace plot, as can models in which two or more parameters vary. In addition, it is straightforward to show that both single-system and multiple-systems models can generate state-trace plots that are considered in the literature to be consistent with either one or multiple cognitive systems. Thus, without additional information, there is no empirical state-trace plot that supports any inferences about the number of underlying parameters or systems.
