If a prediction (embodied concept) matches incoming sensory information and prediction error is minimized, similar features from the past are pieced together to give meaning to the present, constructing a situated or ad hoc category.
“If a prediction (i.e. the embodied concept) matches the incoming sensory information and the prediction error is minimized, similar features from the past are pieced together to give meaning to the present: constructing a situated or ad hoc category (Fig. 4).50,51,110,138,139”
From A new science of emotion: implications for functional neurological disorder (2022) · cites this paper as [138]
In “Constructing Category Concepts for Ad Hoc Categories” (page unavailable), Barsalou says novel categories can be constructed from properties in memory; the Discussion also says relevant contexts and current goals prime ad hoc categories. The paper does not connect that construction to an embodied prediction matching sensory input or to minimized prediction error. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
