Unit 9: Knowledge - Coggle Diagram

- - - - no rules for determining link length or how long activation will spread
      - circular reasoning
- - - - family resemblance
    - - high prototypicality
      - low prototypicality
      - relationship of family resemblance and prototypicality
        
        low overlap
        
        high overlap
      - typicality effect
        
        highly prototypical objects judged more rapidly
        
        sentence verification technique
        
        prototypical objects are named more rapidly
        
        prototypical category members are more affected by a priming stimulus
    - - difference with prototype approach
        
        representation is not abstract
        
        exemplars may work best for small categories and prototypes may work best for larger categories
      - explains typicality effect
      - easily takes into account atypical cases
      - easily deals with variable categories
      - basic level
        
        free naming task, quicker to identify, learnt sooner, common in adult discourse, different cultures use same basic-level
    - - how learning occurs
        
        stimulus--network--response--modifies responding
      - error signal lead to back-propagation
      - slow learning process that creates a network capable of handling a wide range of inputs
      - learning can be generalized
      - graceful degradation
