True or False
There are three levels of categorization.
True
Which of the following are examples of basic-level category of categorization:
a)desk chair, collie, Phillips screwdriver.
b)chair, dog, screwdriver.
c)furniture, animal, tool.
b)chair, dog, screwdriver.
_____________ terms are more likely than _____________ terms to activate part of the prefrontal cortex.
Superordinate, basic-level.
True or False:
The basic-level category is the higher level of categorization and a general category according to the prototype approach.
False
Because the basic level is a moderately specific category. The higher level of categorization is the superordinate level of category.
Which level of categorization names are more likely to produce the semantic priming effect?
a)basic-level
b)superordinate level
c)subordinate level
a)basic-level
According to Rosch and colleagues (1976), people prefer to use ______ level names.
basic
Desk chair, collie, Phillips screwdriver are examples of superordinate level category.
False
They are examples of subordinate level category.
What region of the brain is activated by the subordinate level of categorization?
a)prefrontal cortex
b)temporal lobe
c)frontal lobe
d)occipital lobe
e)none of the above
e)none of the above.
Because the subordinate terms are more likely than basic terms to activate part of the parietal lobe.
According to the Prototype approach, basic-level names are more likely to produce the __________ effect.
semantic priming
Rosch and colleagues (1976) found that people produce basic-level names faster than superordinate or subordinate names.
True
Which of the following are problems associated with the Prototype Approach?
a)Does not account for how our versions of prototypes change with time.
b)accounts for our ability to form concepts around groups that are loosely related.
c)sometimes we store information about individual examples of a category, not just prototypes.
a)Does not account for how our versions of prototypes change with time.
c)sometimes we store information about individual examples of a category, not just prototypes.
The levels of categorization are: __________, __________ and _________.
superordinate, basic and subordinate.
Subordinate terms are more likely than basic-level terms to activate part of the prefrontal cortex.
False.
Subordinate terms are more likely than basic-level terms to activate part of the parietal region.
What are the uses of the basic-level of categorization?
a)basic-level names are used to identify objects
b)basic-level names are more likely to produce the semantic priming effect.
c)basic-level names are more likely than superordinate terms to activate part of the prefrontal cortex.
d)a and b.
d)a and b.
Furniture, animal and tool are examples of __________ level of categorization.
Superordinate.
