Categorization

Categorization is the process of grouping objects, events, or information according to similarities and meanings.

Definicja

Categorization allows you to reduce the complexity of the world and recognize patterns faster. Thanks to it, a person does not analyze each stimulus from scratch, but assigns it to known classes. The problem arises when categories become too rigid, simplistic or lead to stereotyping.

Częste błędne rozumienie
