Kimberly Jameson has a PhD in Psychology from the University of California, Irvine. Her research seeks to understand the ways individuals and groups conceptualize naturally occurring categories in the real world. This includes empirical studies of color categorization and naming; the modeling of concept formation for perceptual stimuli (e.g., individual cognitive organization of color sensations and its relation to linguistic classifiers); evaluation of performance in tasks involving color-coded information; and identifying cross-cultural cognitive universals of color appearance.
