概念组合是从简单概念构建复杂概念的行为。虽然研究已经研究了如何推断复合对象（例如，模糊椅子）是从它们的组成概念产生的，但是对于产生关于复合社会类别的推断的组合过程知之甚少（例如，爱尔兰音乐家）。使用计算的方法，我们调查了25个民族-职业组合的评级和评级的组成概念沿着温暖和能力的属性维度之间的关系。我们发现，人们将不确定性纳入他们对复合社会类别的感知中。此外，人们更有可能使用线性组合策略时，他们更确定的成分的属性和不熟悉的组合。相反，当社会组合是更熟悉的，他们的判断属性进一步偏离组合模型的预测，并在参与者之间共享，这表明基于刻板印象的知识在复杂的社会群体的代表中发挥着核心作用。25种非人类动物组合（例如，马戏团蛇）作为比较，并根据大小和凶猛程度进行评级。我们发现的证据表明，熟悉度有不同的策略，用于结合联合收割机的人的概念和动物的概念，指出可能存在的共同和不同的机制，构建社会和非社会类别。
Conceptual combination is the act of building complex concepts from simpler ones. Although research has examined how inferences about compound objects (e.g.,fuzzy chair) are produced from their constituent concepts, little is known about the combinatorial processes that produce inferences about compound social categories (e.g.,Irish musician). Using a computational approach, we investigated the relationship between ratings of 25 nationality-occupation combinations and ratings of their constituent concepts along the attribute dimensions of warmth and competence. We found that people incorporate uncertainty into their perceptions of compound social categories. Further, people are more likely to use a linear combination strategy when they are more certain about the attributes of the constituents and less familiar with the combination. Conversely, when social combinations are more familiar, their judged attributes deviate further from the predictions of a combinatorial model and are shared across participants, suggesting that stereotype-based knowledge plays a central role in the representation of complex social groups. Twenty-five non-human animal combinations (e.g.,circus snake) serve as a comparison and were rated on size and ferocity. We found evidence that familiarity has different effects on the strategies used to combine person concepts and animal concepts, pointing to the possible existence of both common and distinct mechanisms for constructing social and non-social categories.
