In many respects it seems sensible to use stimuli in a recognition test that have previously been memorized and to compare this to a categorization test using novel stimuli.

The present study examined emotional facial expression recognition abilities in 20 non-demented patients with PD and 23 control participants relative to their performance on a non-emotional landscape categorization test with comparable task requirements.
For the Expression categorization test, the correct categorizations were calculated for each participant and were entered into an ANOVA with between-subject factor age (children, adolescents, and adults).
We also included a categorization task in the current study in order to test whether the motor cortex affects categorical perception of "ba"–"da" continuum.
As this test requires a categorization of a continuous variable (the pBLS value), it is often conservative.
We also adopted strategies to avoid collinearity in other independent variables (for example, not including multiple specific serum IgE tests such as cat and dust mite in addition to dog, and reduction of continuous metals values to an ordinal categorization) and tested for collinearity among remaining covariates.
For a categorization into five proficiency levels, the authors suggest the following percentages of accurate classifications depending on the assumed reliability of the test (in parentheses):.70 (.50),.50 (.50),.50 (.50).50
By avoiding arbitrary categorization of test results, it potentially allows for an improved integration of test results into diagnostic clinical decision making.
This means that in our study the categorization of test scores into five proficiency levels may inherently lead to a misclassification of about 24%, without taking divergent classifications (TOEFL/German NA) into account.
In working to improve their design, they could also use our technique of rapid presentation coupled with an objective categorization task to test the placement of their menus, ads, and graphical elements.
Finally, the regression analyses found that individual accuracy scores on a post-test categorization of Evoked and Emitted laughs as "Real" and "Posed" positively predicted the degree of activation of amPFC (as well as precuneus, which has also been implicated in a mentalizing network; Van Overwalle and Baetens 2009) during passive listening.

Since I tried Ludwig back in 2017, I have been constantly using it in both editing and translation. Ever since, I suggest it to my translators at ProSciEditing.
