Editing Lumpers and splitters (section)

=== Neuroscience ===
In neuroscience, "uncertainty aversion" and "uncertainty tolerance" in semantic representations appear to correlate with the terms "splitters" and "lumpers" respectively.<ref>{{Cite web |last1=Vives |first1=Marc-Lluís |last2=de Bruin |first2=Daantje |last3=van Baar |first3=Jeroen M. |last4=FeldmanHall |first4=Oriel |last5=Bhandari |first5=Apoorva |date=2023-01-13 |title=Uncertainty aversion predicts the neural expansion of semantic representations |url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1101/2023.01.13.523818 |access-date=2023-07-29 |doi=10.1101/2023.01.13.523818|hdl=1887/3608229 }}</ref> As neuroscientist Marc-Lluís Vives observes:<blockquote>"Our survival is possible because every day we make use of previously acquired categories to navigate the world. Every single mug we encounter is distinct, but fundamentally the same. Thanks to this powerful capacity to classify distinct stimuli under the same category, we can generalize our knowledge from the previously encountered subset of mugs to a future subset of mugs. However, this also posits a dilemma: Is a glass mug still a mug? That is, what are the defining principles that make something a "mug"? Establishing this is fundamental since it also affects its relationship with its close-neighbors. Conceptualizing a mug as very different from a glass creates a more clear-cut mapping between the input—that is, the stimulus perceived—and the output that a person needs to generate—that is, the response, such as drinking coffee. Classical work in cognitive science demonstrates that the more similar two stimuli are, the harder it is to discriminate them and respond with different behavior."<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-04-19 |title=Uncertainty aversion predicts the neural expansion of semantic representations |url=http://neurosciencecommunity.nature.com/posts/uncertainty-aversion-predicts-the-neural-expansion-of-semantic-representations |access-date=2023-07-29 |website=Neuroscience Community |language=en}}</ref></blockquote>
