Mehreen Faruqi
Which belief is attributed to Mehreen Faruqi?
Believes climate change is due to human activity
What is the common but incorrect view about mental representations of categories according to the text?
Categories are represented by defining features that are necessary and sufficient
What kind of cells are mentioned in the text in the context of property induction?
Beta cells
What is the main focus of Professor Brett Hayes' lectures 1-2?
Categorisation
What is the process of deciding which category a novel item belongs to?
Classification
Which book is listed in the Readings for Categorisation 1-2?
The Big Book of Concepts by G.L. Murphy
What does the text mention as being central to clinical diagnosis?
Categorisation
What does the text highlight as a function of categories?
Treating discriminably different things as equivalent
Which type of reasoning is covered in Lecture 3 according to the text?
Inductive Reasoning
What is the main principle behind the Prototype Model?
Categories are represented by the central tendency of encountered instances.
How are categories encoded and stored in the Prototype Model?
By representing categories with the central tendency of instances.
What does the Prototype Model suggest for categorizing novel instances?
Basing categorization on the central tendency of stored prototypes.
Which effect do Prototype Models predict when it comes to typicality?
Typical instances will be classified more quickly than atypical instances.
In the context of the Prototype Model, what role does the central tendency play during learning?
It abstracts the central features from encountered instances.
What is the similarity function in the context of exemplar theory?
Exponential
According to exemplar theory, what does low similarity to other dogs imply?
Small distortion
In the context of exemplar theory, what does a prototype represent?
Most similar item to other exemplars
How does exemplar theory explain typicality and fuzzy boundaries?
Through small distortion
What is the outcome of the priming study conducted by Malt (1989) regarding the exemplar model predictions?
RT (Exemplar Prime) < RT (Category Prime)
How does the exemplar model predict the response time in the context of mammal or reptile categorization?
MAMMAL PROTO for Exemplar Prime only
What is a common misconception of the classical view of mental representations of categories?
All category members are considered equal in typicality
Why is the classical view criticized for its failure to specify defining features?
It is easy to define categories like 'triangle' but not categories like 'bird'
According to Eleanor Rosch's better metaphor of family resemblance, how are category members related?
Categories have a cluster of overlapping features
What is a significant aspect of the internal structure of categories according to the text?
Categories have fuzzy boundaries and graded typicality
Why do instances within a category often exhibit typicality effects?
Some instances are more typical due to shared defining features
In what way does the classical view differ from Eleanor Rosch's metaphor of family resemblance?
Categories in the classical view must share exact defining features
This quiz covers lectures on Categorisation 1 and 2, Inductive Reasoning, Reasoning from social information, and Analogical Reasoning. It includes readings from 'The Big Book of Concepts' and additional resources on Clinical Diagnosis.
