Talk:Categorical perception

Despite Stevan Harnad being an expert in this field, I think this article should be re-written for a more general audience. I also wish the article included these additional points:

- The ubiquitous relationship between discrimination and identification found in the early, seminal studies: discrimination is no better than absolute identification. This is not included anywhere in this article, is it? Please correct me if I am wrong, but this distinction formed the basis for the definition of categorical perception.

- Alternative accounts to CP; Researchers such as Dominic W. Massaro have pointed out for years that researchers have failed to consider alternative mathematical models that can account for categorical perception. The research in this area has consistently shown predicted discrimination based on identification nearly always underestimates observed discrimination. Massaro has shown that models of continuous perception predict observed discrimination better relative to categorical models when the root mean-squared deviation (RMSD) between observed and predicted values is used as a goodness-of-fit metric.
