- Title
"Commitment" distinguishes between rules and similarity: A developmental perspective.
- Authors
Diesendruck, Gil
- Abstract
A qualitative difference between Rules and Similarity in categorization can be described in terms of "commitment": Rules entail it, Similarity does not. Commitment derives from people's knowledge of a do- main, and it is what justifies people's inferences, selective attention, and dismissal of irrelevant information. Studies show that when children have knowledge, they manifest these aspects of commitment, thus overcoming Similarity.
