2022, Cognitive PsychologyCitation Excerpt :We then develop our proposal in greater detail and offer an overview of the four experiments we go on to report. People judge some category members as more typical than others (e.g., a robin is more typical than an emu for the category of birds), and this graded structure is one of the most robust phenomena in research on conceptual representation (e.g., Murphy, 2002; Rips, 1975; Rips et al., 1973; Rosch, 1973; Rosch & Mervis, 1975). Typicality has important consequences for how people use concepts to learn and reason in their daily lives: Typical category members come to mind more readily (Anglin, 1986; Rosner & Hayes, 1977), are often learned first (Bjorklund & Thompson, 1983; Rosch et al., 1976; Mervis & Pani, 1980; Rosch et al., 1976), and serve as the basis for people’s inferences about what other category members are like (Osherson et al., 1990; Rips, 1975).
