Unit 6 Flashcards
basic level advantage
short exposure identification leads most to identify things to the same basic level (example of the cat image shown in class)
category structure type I
one dimension applied to all of them, no matter shape or size
category structure type VI
no pattern
category structures listed easiest to hardest to learn
I < II < [III, IV, V] < VI
conceptual combination
combine known concepts to understand new things
concepts as exemplars
memory trace
concepts as prototypes
average
concepts as rules
definitions
hierarchical concepts
concepts arranged in a hierarchy
level above basic level
superordinate (general)
level below basic level
subordinate (specific)
type of conceptualization that doesn’t work with conceptual combination
exemplars because how can you make a new concept without a memory trace of it?
