This is a great book for all practitioners of Information Architecture. It doesn't matter if you are new to the discipline or an experienced architect, you'll still learn lots of useful stuff from Christina. The traditional subjects of IA are presented in a refreshing point of view, and it explains subjects that nobody before had revealed, with clarity and detail. It's also very fun to read.

Ad Hoc Categorizations and the Emergence of Context Effects: "We discuss how marketers may actively affect categorization processes to increase product appeal, for example, in brand extensions and other category-based product evaluations."

I am looking at Ad-hoc categories (and came across the link above) and what they mean for information architecture.

Ad-hoc categories are categories like "things to take on a camping trip" - they can be created immediately and form a category, even if they didn't exist before. I believe that's the definition.

They have specific properties (for example, their members can have nothing in common other than the fact of their membership, while still showing gradation-of-membership effects.), and are already being used on the web (for example Amazon's "People who bought this book also bought" looks like an ad-hoc category.)

Of course, your copy of Women, Fire and Dangerous Things has some things to say about ad hoc categories, and Lawrence W. Barsalou did research talking about how these are goal-derived categories (I look at ad-hoc categories as a bit broader than goal-derived categories. The Amazon example isn't goal-derived, for example, but it's ad-hoc.).

I'm just starting my investigations into this particular intersection of information architecture and cognitive psychology, any ideas are very welcome.
