Common-Factor Model of Categorical Perception

Pastore, R. E.; And Others

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 3, 4, 686-96, Nov 77

A model was proposed as an alternative to current models for categorical perception, which refers to the apparent responding to stimuli only in absolute terms. The model proposed that a single (common) factor causes both a peak in the discrimination function and a categorical dichotomy and thus the correlation between the two. (Editor/RK)
