Question

question 3
olives and tomatoes are

a. exemplars; fruit concept
b. prototypes; fruit category
c. prototypes; food category
d. exemplars; fruit schema

Explanation:

• Exemplars vs. Prototypes: Exemplars are all the specific instances (like every single apple, orange, olive, tomato you've ever seen). Prototypes are the "best - fit" or most representative example (like a typical round, red apple might be a prototype of fruit). Olives and tomatoes are not the most typical (prototype) of fruit (many people might first think of apples, bananas as fruit prototypes). But they are part of the fruit category.
• Category vs. Schema: A category is a group of related objects (fruit category). A schema is a more complex cognitive framework that can involve multiple concepts and their relationships (not just about grouping like a category).

Answer:

B. prototypes; fruit category
