Medin Professor Department of Psychology Professor Medin has been doing research on biological concepts among three groups in Petan, Guatemala, and among Native American, Amish, and Majority culture people in northcentral Wisconsin. The scope of these projects is fairly broad, ranging from studies of basic level concepts and the use of categories in reasoning to environmental decision making and links between cultural differences in mental models of nature and inter-group conflict over natural resources. In a nutshell, the work on categorization and category-based reasoning shows patterns that systematically diverge from what undergraduates show, suggesting that theory and data based on undergraduates may not generalize to the world at large.
