Humans’ and pigeons’ observed and predicted accuracy for prototypes, typical items, and exceptions during the early (top panels) and late (bottom panels) stages of learning within the prototype-exception task of Cook and Smith (2006). Observed performances are shown as filled, black circles. The best-fitting predictions of prototype and exemplar models are shown, respectively, as open squares and triangles.
