Explain prototype model and exemplar model.
Responses may vary but should include some or all of the following information: Exemplar model is a list of common characteristics made for each new item. This is also called a concept definition. A prototype model is a mental image created that has the average characteristics of an item. Responses may vary but should include some or all of the following information: Exemplar model is a list of common characteristics made for each new item. This is also called a concept definition. A prototype model is a mental image created that has the average characteristics of an item.
Explain the three ways of organizing concepts.
Responses may vary but should include some or all of the following information: There are three ways of organizing concepts: conceptual hierarchy, where one groups similar information together, schemas, where one organizes what one already know about something, and semantic networks, where a group of concepts are linked or connected together by related concepts.

What are the two main functions of forming concepts?
Responses may vary but should include some or all of the following information: Forming concepts avoids relearning new information and organizes information by allowing one to group things into categories and prototypes with average features.
Using the exemplar model, how would one form a concept of a cat?
Responses may vary but should include some or all of the following information: One would create a list of characteristics and descriptions, such as furry, long tail, pointy ears, whiskers, four legs, and sharp claws. Responses may vary but should include some or all of the following information: One would create a list of characteristics and descriptions, such as furry, long tail, pointy ears, whiskers, four legs, and sharp claws.
A group of concepts linked or connected together by related concepts is a conceptual hierarchy.
Using the prototype model, how would one form a concept of a fish?
Responses may vary but should include some or all of the following information: Using the prototype model, a person might form an image or picture that looks like an average fish in one’s head. The image may have gills, a small mouth, and fins, and it will be used to compare to other fish that one sees. Responses may vary but should include some or all of the following information: Using the prototype model, a person might form a mental image or picture of an average fish. The image may have gills, a small mouth, and fins, and it will be used to compare to other fish that one sees.
What is the difference between a 10-month-old and a 5-year-old in forming concepts?
Responses may vary but should include some or all of the following information: A 10-month-old can form concepts for large categories such as objects, people, and animals. A 5-year-old is capable of more difficult concepts such as sharp, hot, and above.
