“…Moreover, there are various demonstrations that learning to respond to a stimulus set affects discrimination performance on the same set in another task (see Cantor, 1965, for a review). One may also speculate that recent findings of cognitive influences on word perception (e.g., O'Hara, 1980; Prinzmetal, 1990) and object recognition (e.g., Hoffmann & Zieβler, 1986) reflect influences of functional, action-related categories on perception, as already proposed by Ach (1921) and Heron (1957). Therefore, the considerations of Hasbroucq and Guiard may have their merits.…”
