The Effect of Verbal Labels on Category Learning
It has been shown that perception is affected by grouping perceptual stimuli into categories. Adding labels to the categories appears to facilitate human category learning. In this work, using WebPPL (a probabilistic programming language), I developed a computational model in an attempt to replicate the previously demonstrated effects of labels on category learning.
The paper I wrote for my final project is linked below:
