In this video I consider how language can help us to organize thought and create more precise concepts and categories. This raises the question of how we recognize new stimuli as being part of a particular category. Protoype theory suggests that we mentally compare new stimuli to a prototype or most-typical example for a particular category. Exemplar theory suggests that we use prototypes in addition to our memory for other examples of exceptions and variations, though this process will be slower.

previously thought it was so confusing to distinguish between prototype and exemplars but this video is such a godsend

Wow, you just helped me sleep better: I now can answer this question.

Prototype theory is very interesting, though off the top of my head I can think of some problems. For example, Birds and Fish seem like fine prototypes for their categories. I imagine most people in such situations would draw a "generic" bird of fish with little variation. Yet I've only ever seen someone use Birds in Prototype Theory. What about mammals? What is the most "Mammal" like Mammal? Dogs? Cats? Cows? Lions? I doubt it would be whales or dolphins, since to the untrained eye they seem more like fish. I would predict that the "Prototype" would be hairy, four legged and with a tail, but with more variation than Bird. And I doubt many would draw a Human Being. Then we come to Reptiles and Amphibians. What is Prototypical there? For Arachnids, Spiders seem a fine prototype, though for me at least I find little similarity between Spiders and Scorpions. I only know they're both Arachnids because I was told as such. And what's a prototypical insect? An Ant? A Fly? A Worm? And what about Emotions? What's the "Prototype" for Emotion? A Prototypical Colour? A Prototype for Music? etc etc. I think Prototype theory is very useful, but is not the be all end all of Cognitive Categorisation. I apologise if I got something wrong though, since I am very much an amateur and a layman in this subject.

I think this is one way that you can see how prototypes will vary based on one's environment. The kinds of spiders, fish, or dogs you see on a regular basis (and thus have more practice categorizing) will influence the development of your schema, and that will mean that prototypes will vary between individuals. I think you're also right that as we shift to broader categories it becomes more difficult to define prototypes. As you said, it's certainly not the only aspect of how we create conceptual categories, especially for more abstract ideas. I think this also relates to the idea that we evolved to adapt to the immediate physical world in order to inform how we act (venomous vs. harmless spider) so perhaps it shouldn't be surprising that we're able to do this kind of categorization more quickly and accurately than more abstract rule-based categories like mammal or arachnid. Thanks for commenting!

Could you make a video about complex problem in details? Thaaaanks

@PsychExamReview 4 года назад

Sure, I'm planning to start making playlists on more advanced topics (probably starting with research methods and statistics) in the future

Thanks for the helpful video! Could you link the source of the experiment with the pidgeons, please :-)

@PsychExamReview 4 года назад

Sure, for the chair example I was referring to studies like this one by Bhatt, Wasserman, Reynolds, & Knauss (1988) here: sci-hub.tw/10.1037/0097-7403.14.3.219

why cant you just be my teacher for all my psych courses ? I would enjoy it heck a lot more than my teacher I have now ( no offence to him) 😂

@PsychExamReview 2 года назад

Haha, well, I've tried to make videos covering a range of topics, hopefully I can cover more advanced topics in the future. Let me know what kind of videos you'd like to see!
