On the interaction between exemplar-based concepts and a response scaling process

Abstract

An analysis of the "response scaling" parameter in the Generalized Context Model is presented. In light of the existing debate over the behavior of the model when this parameter is included, three different interpretations are discussed, in order to illustrate the effect of the parameter at the decision level, the category similarity level, and the representational structure level. © 2007 Elsevier Inc.
