Which of the following best shows the concept of family resemblance in categorization?
- All members of a category share one defining feature that distinguishes them from other categories

A child is learning about different types of dogs. They easily remember common breeds like Golden Retrievers and Labradors, but struggle with less common breeds. Which approach explains why common breeds are easier to recall?
A child is learning about different types of dogs. They easily remember common breeds like Golden Retrievers and Labradors, but struggle with less common breeds. Which approach explains why common breeds are easier to recall?
- Definitional Approach, because it relies on strict definitions
- Prototype approach, because common breeds are closer to the prototype of "dog" (correct)
- Exemplar approach, because it requires recalling every dog they've ever encountered
- Hub and Spoke Model, because it integrates sensory and functional information
According to the Hierarchical Network Model of Semantic Memory, which of the following is FALSE?
According to the Hierarchical Network Model of Semantic Memory, which of the following is FALSE?
- More specific concepts, like “canary” are stored at higher levels than general ones like “bird” (correct)
- The model assumes that related concepts are connected in a hierarchy
- Properties of concepts are stored at highest possible levels to avoid being repetitive
- Retrieving information takes longer when more levels in the hierarchy must be accessed
The _____ approach argues that concepts must include all members of a category. Ludwig Wittgenstein (1953) opposed this, as he does not think any concept could encompass every member of a category. Instead, he proposed that concepts share overlapping similarities, referring to this idea as ______.

John spent a week cleaning his house and looking for his wallet, which he had lost three months ago, but he had never found it. John sat down on the couch and replayed his last memory, piece by piece. He remembers seeing himself coming home from work, taking off
