Answer 1

According to the prototype approach, this observation in which you quickly make judgments about the word carrot, when you heard the word vegetable, shows that after priming, people respond faster to prototypes than to nonprototypes. The prototype approach states that we judge whether an item is similar to the prototype in order to decide whether it belongs to a category. In this scenario, carrot is a vegetable and we judge it according that.
