Is category specifity in the world or in the mind? (2001)

Authors

Abstract

HIT produces category-specific deficits without category-specific mechanisms by assuming that differences in properties of objects are transparently converted into differences in representational format. A complete model would specify die mechanisms that accomplish this. Such category-specific mechanisms may have evolved because assumptions about the properties of some kinds of objects (e.g., living things) are invalid for others (e.g., artifacts).
