Modeling category coordination: Comments and complications

Hampton, J. A. (2005). Modeling category coordination: Comments and complications. Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 28(4), pp. 496-497. doi: 10.1017/s0140525x05300082

Abstract

Consideration of color alone can give a misleading impression of the three approaches to category coordination: the nativist, empiricist and culturalist models. Empiricist models can benefit from a wider range of correlational information in the environment. Also, all three approaches may explain a set of perceptual categories within the human repertoire. Finally, a suggestion is offered for supplementing the naming game by varying the social status of agents.
