Object Categorization Processing Differs According to Category Level: Comparing Visual Information Between the Basic and Superordinate Levels by Kosuke Taniguchi; Kana Kuraguchi; Yuji Takano; Shoji Itakura is a Psychology article available to read on EtoBox.

Object category levels comprise a crucial concept in the field of object recognition. Specifically, categorization performance differs according to the category level of the target object. This study involved experiments with two types of stimulus sequences (i.e., forward condition: presenting the target name before the line-drawing stimulus; and reverse condition: presenting the target name after the line-drawing stimulus) for both basic- and superordinate-level categorizations. Adult participants were assigned to each level and asked to judge whether briefly presented stimuli included the same object and target name. Here, we investigated how the category level altered the categorization process. We conducted path analyses using a multivariate multiple regression model, and set our variables to investigate whether the predictors affected the categorization process between two types of stimulus sequence. Dependent variables included the measures of performance (i.e., reaction time, accuracy) for each categorization task. The predictors included dimensions and shapes of the line-drawings, such as primary and local shape information, shape complexity, subject estimation, and other s
