The categorization of visual stimuli based on recursive rules has been proposed as dependent on human language (Hauser, Chomsky, Fitch, 2002). This collection brings together articles on rule based visual categorization that support and argue against the "Recursion is language-dependent" position.
Articles present in this collection have been published in many different venues. If you are interested in contributing to this collection, by either adding an already published article, or seeking to publicize new research, please send to the editors of the collection.
