Understanding Categorization Types

The document discusses different types of categories, including identity categories, equivalent categories, and coding systems. Coding systems are essential for recognizing sensory input and play a significant role in higher cognitive functioning by allowing individuals to make inferences based on related categories. The principles of Bruner emphasize that people interpret the world primarily through similarities and differences, shaping their personal models of understanding.

CATEGORAZATION

THERE ARE SEVERAL KINDS OF CATEGORIES:


Identity categories
• Include objects based on their attributes or
features.

Equivalent categories
• Provide rules for combining categories.

Coding systems
• Serves to recognize sensory input.
Coding systems

• are categories that serve to recognize sensory input. They


are major organizational variables in higher cognitive
functioning. Going beyond immediate sensory data
involves making inferences on the basis of related
categories. Related categories form a "coding system."
These are hierarchical arrangements of related categories.
The principles of Bruner launched the notion that people
interpret the world mostly in terms of similarities and
differences. This is a valuable contribution to how
individuals construct their own models or view of the world.
