An attribute frequency model for the abstraction of prototypes

Abstract

An attribute frequency model for the abstraction of prototypes is proposed as an alternative to the prototype-plus-transformation model. A specific model is tested in a Franks and Bransford visual pattern paradigm under conditions in which the two models generate contrasting predictions. The results support the attribute frequency model. Application of the model to reported data obtained in other paradigms is illustrated and discussed.
