摘要
采用学习迁移任务范式,使用基于单一特征的类别判断技术,比较了非线性分离结构下,分类学习和推理学习的学习效率、学习过程与策略和学习结果。结果表明:在学习效率上,分类学习比推理学习更好地习得了含有较多样例的类别知识,分类学习的速度上显著快于推理学习。在学习的过程与策略上,推理学习比分类学习更为关注类别内不同特征的相关,但在分类策略的运用上不如分类学习灵活。在学习的结果上,推理学习倾向于原型记忆,分类学习倾向于进行样例记忆,分类学习比推理学习更好地掌握了类别原型。
Introduction
In this article, we compare classification learning with inference learning. In the inference task, participants predict the value of a missing feature of an item given its category label and other feature values. In the classification task, participants predict the category label of an item given its feature values. Yamauchi and Markman (1998, 2000, 2002) showed that these two types of learning did not result in the learning of equivalent knowledge. Categories defined by a family resemblance structure were more easily learned by inference learning than by classification learning, whereas cation learning than by i were highly sensitive to categories defined by a nonlinearly separable structure were more easily learned by classifinference learning. Chin -Parker and Ross (2002, 2004) found that Classification learners diagnostic features but not sensitive to nondiagnostic, prototypical features. Inference learners were less sensitive to the diagnostic features than were classification learners and were also sensitive to the nondiagnostic, prototypical features. In the current experiments, we examined the sensitivity of classification and inference learners to another critical type of category information - feature correlation information. We further systematically explored the two learning tasks that might lead to differential learning efficiency, strategy and outcome.
Method
As Chin-Parker & Ross (2002,2004) pointed out, Yamauchi & Markman ignored irrelative transfer effects in their 1988 study and used less learning exemplars in their 2002 study. We improved Yamauchi & Markman' s experiment (2002) by designing 10 learning exemplars and 3/5 prototypical typicality category structure, using learning-transfer task paradigm and feature category detecting method. We explored the category feature correlation processing in different way in classification and inference learning. One hundred and forty-four volunteers, who took an introductory psychology course for partial cre
