Abstract
In category learning experiments, participants typically do not learn within-category correlations unless the composition of the categories or the task demands compel them to do so. To determine if correlations among attributes could be learned without explicitly focusing the participants’ attention on them, a task was designed that allowed stimuli to be classified on the basis of a single perfectly predictive attribute. Each training stimulus also included attributes that were either perfectly or partly correlated with the rule attribute. Then, in a test phase, the impact of eliminating the rule attribute on classification was evaluated. The experiment showed that some of the attributes that were perfectly correlated with the rule attribute were learned. These attributes could be used to classify the test exemplars even though the rule attribute had been removed. This experiment provides evidence that within-category correlations can be learned incidentally during classification tasks.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
