    Knowledge Chapter 9

    • Defining categories using definitional, prototype, and exemplar approaches.

    • Semantic networks, nodes, and cognitive economy impact categorization, particularly through lexical decision tasks and spreading activation.

    Language Chapter 11

    • Language views, including classical, behaviorist, and cognitive perspectives, influence understanding of language's generative and dynamic aspects.
    • Language understanding includes perception, production, phonemes, morphemes, and words, along with levels of analysis.
