Cohen H., Lefebvre C. (eds.) Handbook of Categorization in Cognitive Science

Springer, 2005. — 1136 p.The content of most of the chapters in this book was presented as part of the Summer Institute on categorization that took place at the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) for 10 days in June and July 2003. The objective of this Institute was to address the problem of categorization through the lens of all the disciplines that are at the heart of the Cognitive Sciences: Cognitive Anthropology, Linguistics, Philosophy, Neuroscience, Psychology and Cognitive Computer Science. This book is a natural, concrete outcome of the Institute.
In planning this book, we wanted all aspects of categorization to be represented. We therefore filled the holes in the original program by soliciting contributions from researchers who had not been involved directly in the Summer Institute on categorization. In its present form, the book contains some 50 chapters. To our knowledge, it is the first time in history that the problem of categorization has been considered from so many angles within a single book.Bridging the Category Divide
