Cognition:
how we think
Made by Past experience, belies, emotion, creativity, language, problem solving
Concept:
group/categories of shared features of related objects, events, or stimuli
Ex: fruit
Informed by semantic memory
Concrete and abstract
Types of concepts:
Concrete concept: fruit, clouds
Abstract concept: psychology, theories
Natural concept: experienced in the world, can construct an understanding of it
through direct observation (snow, fuirt, birds)
Artificial concept: the area of a square/ pathagoran’s theorem, understood through
a set of traits, build on one another
Prototype:
the best example of a concept
Possesses manny, if not all of the characteristics of the category
Ex:watermelon in fruits
-the closer the new fruit is to the prototype(watermelon), the better example of fruit it
would be considered
