The role of explanation in categorization decisionsFootnote

Jeffrey M. Stibel was previously at the Department of Cognitive and Linguistic Sciences, Brown University. Sections of this paper were submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for a graduate degree in the Department of Cognitive & Linguistic Sciences at Brown University.

I am grateful to (in alphabetical order) James Anderson, Talia Ben‐Zeev, Richard Chechile, Daniel Dennett, William Heindel, Steven Sloman, Salvatore Soraci, Cheryl Stibel, and Michael Tarr for their invaluable ideas and comments.
