If a system has the property of graceful degradation,this means that

When a participant is asked to list examples of the category vegetables,it is most likely that

According to Collins and Quillian's semantic network model,it should take longest to verify which statement below?

Which approach to categorization can more easily take into account atypical cases such as flightless birds?

According to the S-F hypothesis,our ability to differentiate living things and artifacts depends on a semantic memory system that distinguishesand one that distinguishes.

Your text describes cross-cultural studies of categorization with U.S.and Itzaj participants.Given the results of these studies,we know that if asked to name basic level objects for a category,U.S.participants would answer And Itzaj participants would answer.

Compare and contrast the standard object for the prototype approach to categorization and for the exemplar approach to categorization.Include descriptions of how the standards can lead to similar as well as different categorization judgments.

Which of the following would be in a basic level category?

Rosch found that participants respond more rapidly in a same-different task when presented with "good" examples of colors such as "red" and "green" than when they are presented with "poor" examples such as "pink" or "light green." The result of this experiment was interpreted as supporting theapproach to categorization.

In evaluating retrieval rates for category information for a concept,Collins and Quillian's semantic network approach would predict the slowest reaction times for which of the following statements using a sentence verification technique?

An advantage of the exemplar approach over the prototype approach is that the exemplar approach provides a better explanation of theeffect.

Collins and Quillian's semantic network model predicts that the reaction time to verify "a canary is a bird" is the reaction time to verify "an ostrich is a bird."

Which of the following reaction time data sets illustrates the typicality effect for the bird category,given the following three trials? (NOTE: Read data sets as RTs for Trial 1: Trial 2: Trial 3) Trial 1: An owl is a bird.Trial 2: A penguin is a bird.Trial 3: A sparrow is a bird.

Priming occurs when presentation of one stimulus

It may be difficult for young Matthew,who is only 4 years of age,to understand the difference between the iPad that his mother uses,the Kindle that his brother uses,and the Galaxy tablet that his sister uses.After all,all of them are tablets,have touch screens,are electronic technology,and run "apps" that include games and educational programs.These similarities remind us of the concept of,which refers to the fact that animals tend to share many different properties.

Research suggests that theapproach to categorization works best for small categories (e.g. ,U.S.presidents) .

In the semantic network model,a specific category or concept is represented at a

Collins and Quillian explained the results of priming experiments by introducing the concept ofinto their network model.
