Category Learning 2.0 is a convenient title for the idea that categorization is the result of the action of two competing systems. One is rule-based and explicit, the other is based on overall similarity and is implicit (or at least procedural). The overall similarity system takes control when time or cognitive resources are scarce. In this talk, I'll explain why I'm partially critical of this idea, and set out evidence in support of a somewhat different proposal.
