Abstract: Linguistic labels play an important role in category learning. in these studies, we explored how the artificial linguistic labels and real linguistic labels influence the category learning by the eye tracker. In experiment 1, Were 33 undergraduate Measurement,four kinds of artificial linguistic labels were designed in form of appearance (similar vs. dissimilar)×label (similar vs. dissimilar). The result indicated that, in the artificial linguistic label circumstance, participants tended to classify the targets based on the label similarity. In experiment 2, Were 34 undergraduate Measurement,the participants were presented the real linguistic labels under the condition that the familiarity of the labels was controlled. Four kinds of the labels were similar appearance and familiar-labels, similar appearance and unfamiliar-labels, dissimilar appearance and unfamiliar-labels, similar appearance and familiar-labels. Under the real linguistic label circumstance, participants tended to classify the targets based on knowledge category of the label. From above 2 experiment, we found artificial linguistic results corroborated the similarity-based account in adults group, but real linguistic labels contributed to the knowledge-based. Linguistic labeling effect of familiarity in category learning affects the classification. classification is based on similarity in unfamiliar category linguistic label, while in familiar category linguistic label, it is based on knowledge; classification is higher in accuracy and faster based on category knowledge.

Key words: categorization, similarity, linguistic labels, eye tracking
