This is a timely review in the context of current efforts to develop the concept of receiver psychology (Guildford and Dawkins 1991) more systematically and in a way that generates clear and testable hypotheses (Miller and Bee 2012). To a large extent, this means novel applications for some of the well-developed tools for quantitative analysis of behavior derived from psychology and cognitive science (Green and Swets 1966). These methods are usually framed independently of functional analyses of natural behavior. But increasingly these are being brought to bear on functional questions about the structure of animal sensory worlds (i.e., perception) (Wyttenbach and Hoy 1993; Schul and Sheridan 2006; Lee and Mason 2017). In this case, the focus is on categorical perception, for which the authors suggest several functional hypotheses.

感知，决策和选择：Green等人的评论。

在当前努力更系统地发展接受者心理学概念的背景下（Guildford和Dawkins 1991），这是一个及时的回顾（Miller and Bee 2012）。在很大程度上，这意味着对一些先进的工具的新颖应用，这些工​​具可以对心理学和认知科学中的行为进行定量分析（Green and Swets 1966）。这些方法通常与自然行为的功能分析无关。但是越来越多的这些问题被带到有关动物感觉世界（即知觉）结构的功能性问题上（Wyttenbach和Hoy 1993； Schul和Sheridan 2006； Lee和Mason 2017）。在这种情况下，重点放在类别感知上，为此作者提出了几个功能假设。
