Research summary

Robert M. Nosofsky studies how people (and sometimes animals like pigeons) learn to categorize objects and recognize whether they have seen something before. His work builds and tests mathematical models of the mind"s categorization and memory processes, often using multidimensional-scaling methods to map how similar different images or objects appear to observers. Recent projects extend these models to real-world, high-dimensional categories such as natural objects and rock samples, and include applications to teaching.

After a slower period around 2020-2021, publication activity has increased notably, peaking in 2025.
