————————— “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.
