Units in a connectionist network that are activated by stimulation from the environment

a procedure in which a person is asked to decide as quickly as possible, whether a particular stimulus is a word of a nonword

a standard used in categorization that is formed by averaging the category members a person has cencountered in the past

|
|
the idea that we decide whether something si a member of a category by determining whether it is similar to a standard representation of the category called a prototype

Prototype approach to categorization
