Animals, including humans, must make sense of information, bombarding them from the enviroment, quickly and effectively. Categorical perception is one such process, and the evidence for it is increasing. We argue that the next step in the research of category-based decision making should be to study wild animals in the field and in behavioral contexts that have strong fitness-relevant impacts. We illustrate this point by the promise of categorical perception in the rejection of foreign egg colors by American robins (Turdus migratorius).

分类感知的生态环境和适应性影响：Green等人的评论。

包括人类在内的动物必须了解信息，并迅速有效地对其进行轰炸。分类知觉就是这样一种过程，并且它的证据正在增加。我们认为，基于类别的决策研究的下一步应该是在野外和行为背景下研究对健身有重大影响的野生动物。我们通过对美国知更鸟（Turdus migratorius）拒绝异卵颜色的绝对感知的承诺来说明这一点。
