The mutual influence of categorization and choiceAbstractPeople form preferences for objects and events in the world. The present research explores how people come to learn about categories of objects and events in the world when forming preferences about them, and how what is learned about these objects and events affects what people prefer. The studies focus on the role of analogies in decision making about highly unfamiliar objects. In addition, they examine how people's background knowledge and motivation affect choices and learning about new members of known categories. This work has implications for many real-world situations in which people learn about the options in the process of forming preferences such as voting and selection of consumer products.

分类与选择的相互影响人们对世界上的事物和事件形成偏好。 本研究探讨了人们如何在形成对世界上的物体和事件的偏好时了解它们的类别，以及对这些物体和事件的了解如何影响人们的偏好。 这些研究集中在类比在对高度不熟悉的物体进行决策时的作用。 此外，他们还研究了人们的背景知识和动机如何影响对已知类别新成员的选择和学习。 这项工作对许多现实世界的情况有影响，在这些情况下，人们在形成偏好（如投票和选择消费品）的过程中了解选项。
