The contributions in this handbook reflect this diversity. For example, the notion of category is not uniform across these contributions, and there are multiple definitions of the notion of concept. Furthermore, the study of category and categorization is approached differently within each discipline. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor some authors, the categories themselves constitute the object of study, whereas for others, it is the process of categorization, and for others still, it is the technical manipulation of large chunks of information. Finally, yet another contrast has to do with the biological versus artificial nature of agents or categorizers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDefines notions of category and categorization\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscusses the nature of categories: discrete, vague, or other\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplores the modality effects on categories \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridges the category divide - calling attention to the bridges that have already been built, and avenues for further cross-fertilization between disciplines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Elsevier Science","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47071304483056,"sku":"9780128097663","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780128097663_p0.jpg?v=1763639803","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780128097663","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
