Abstract

This chapter provides evidence in support of a specific theory of the cognitive representations that support visual category learning using functional magnetic resonance imaging. It reviews data showing that category learning not only recruits regions that have been previously implicated in learning and memory processes but also regions implicated in perceptual processing. These findings clearly support psychological theories claiming distinct mechanisms for different types of learning and they provide a basis for understanding how these systems are modified due to experience.
