  • Title: A rule-based presentation order facilitates category learning.
    Author: Mathy F, Feldman J.
    Journal: Psychon Bull Rev; 2009 Dec; 16(6):1050-7. PubMed ID: 19966254.
    Abstract:
    We investigated the mechanisms by which concepts are learned from examples by manipulating the presentation order in which the examples were presented to subjects. We introduce the idea of a rule-based presentation order, which is a sequence that respects the internal organization of the examples within a category. We find that such an order substantially facilitates learning, as compared with previously known beneficial orders, such as a similarity-based order. We discuss this result in light of the central distinction between rule-based and similarity-based learning models.
