Categorization in mental lexicon is an intriguing phenomenon. The current work reviews major theoretical models and cognitive neuroscience studies for this phenomenon. Controversy and discrepancy in this field, and advantages and limitations of the theoretical models are discussed. The author also briefly describes the evidence for neuroanatomy (brain regions and their functions) and neurophysiology (components of event-related potentials and time course of their activation) of categorization.
