The full speaker list can be found here<https://www.mcgill.ca/psychology/events-colloquia-0/brownbag-series>. ————————— “Cognition in Applied Settings: Theories of Categorization and Medical Diagnosis” Meredith Young, Center for Medical Education & McGill Department of Medicine In my work, I apply theories of categorization and concept formation to understand how medical trainees learn to diagnose patients and choose management strategies. Providing a diagnosis could be considered analogous to categorization – the grouping of perceptually different stimuli (or different forms of disease presentation) into the same category for the purpose of use (diagnosis or treatment choice). I will present a few studies investigating the role of familiarity in the diagnostic decisions of novices, with the goal of facilitating a discussion regarding the applicability and use of theories of cognition, memory, decision-making, perception, and performance in applied settings such as medicine. ___________________________________ Mehrgol Tiv Ph.D. Student, Psychology, McGill University Language and Multilingualism Lab *mehrgoltiv.com<http://mehrgoltiv.com>
