A Linguistic–Sensorimotor Model of the Basic-Level Advantage in Category Verification

2024-03-08

Abstract excerpt

<p>People are generally more accurate at categorising objects at the basic level (e.g., dog) than at more general, superordinate categories (e.g., animal). Recent research has suggested that this basic-level advantage emerges from the linguistic-distributional and sensorimotor relationship between a category concept and object concept, but the proposed mechanisms have not been subject to a formal computational tes...
