Question

Which of the following scenarios would be explained by the prototype model of concept structures?

Answer 1

Answer:

c. Determining whether something is a flower if it is similar to a rose.

Explanation:

a. Determining whether something is a car if it has four wheels.

That's not a prototype since a car is an object that needs to have 4 wheels

b. Determining whether something is a fish if it swims in the water.

By definition a fish needs to swimns in the watr so then not makes sense create a prototype for this.

c. Determining whether something is a flower if it is similar to a rose.

That's th correct option for this case since we can have a lot of flowers but we don't know if one particular is similar to a rose or no.

d. Determining whether something is a cat if it can run.

We know that an animal like the cat have the ability to wlak and run so we don't need to create a prototype for this.
