Basic objects in natural categories
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors define basic objects as those categories which carry the most information, possess the highest category cue validity, and are the most differentiated from one another, and thus the most distinctive from each other.
Journal ArticleDOI
Family Resemblances: Studies in the Internal Structure of Categories
Eleanor Rosch,Carolyn B. Mervis +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the hypothesis that the members of categories which are considered most prototypical are those with most attributes in common with other members of the category and least attributes with other categories and found that family resemblance offers an alternative to criterial features in defining categories.
Journal ArticleDOI
Categorization of Natural Objects
Carolyn B. Mervis,Eleanor Rosch +1 more
TL;DR: Decomposition of objects has been studied extensively in the literature as mentioned in this paper, with a focus on the decomposition of complex objects into more elementary attributes, i.e. the qualities into which complex objects are decomposed.

LIM-kinase1 Hemizygosity Implicated in Impaired Visuospatial Constructive Cognition
J.Michael Frangiskakis,Amanda K. Ewart,Colleen A. Morris,Carolyn B. Mervis,Jacquelyn Bertrand,Byron F. Robinson,Bonita P. Klein,Gregory J. Ensing,Lorraine A. Everett,Eric D. Green,Christoph Pröschel,N.J. Gutowski,Mark Noble,Donald L. Atkinson,Donald L. Atkinson,Shannon J. Odelberg,Mark T. Keating +16 more
TL;DR: Because ELN mutations cause vascular disease but not cognitive abnormalities, these data implicate LIMK1 hemizygosity in imparied visuospatial constructive cognition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sleep and Neurobehavioral Characteristics of 5- to 7-Year-Old Children With Parentally Reported Symptoms of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
Louise M. O'Brien,Cheryl R. Holbrook,Carolyn B. Mervis,Carrie J Klaus,Jennifer L. Bruner,Troy J. Raffield,Jennifer Rutherford,Rochelle C. Mehl,Mei Wang,Andrew Tuell,Brittany C Hume,David Gozal +11 more
TL;DR: In children with significant symptoms of ADHD, the prevalence of SDB is not different from that of the general pediatric population and that rapid eye movement sleep in these children is disturbed and may contribute to the severity of their behavioral manifestations, which can lead to mild ADHD-like behaviors.
