Powering up causal generalization: A model of human conceptual bootstrapping with adaptor grammars

2022-05-07

Abstract excerpt

<p>Human learning and generalization benefit from bootstrapping: we arrive at complex concepts by starting small and building upon past successes. In this paper, we examine a computational account of causal conceptual bootstrapping, and describe a novel experiment in which the sequence of training data results in a dramatic order effect: participants succeed in identifying a compound concept only after experiencin...
