ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Category learning

Category learning is a way that people learn to recognize and understand the things around them. It's like putting things into groups so that it's easier to remember and organize the information. For example, if you wanted to learn about animals, you could group them into categories like mammals, birds, reptiles, etc. That way, you can remember what kinds of animals are in each group and remember which animals are in which group.
