Answer these three questions below. You will want to primarily rely on the assigned readings. When making your points, you will want to point to specific findings in the papers. Do not quote long passages from the papers. The length recommendations are based on double spaced, 12 point, times font with standard margins.

1. (one page response)

How is the approach underlying the rational model consistent with how Rosch characterizes natural, basic-level categories? In other words, the rational model says that categories should have certain properties. Which of these properties are consistent with Rosch's account?

2. (one page response)

Is the rational model consistent with the idea that different induction tasks (e.g., classification vs. infeence learning) can lead to different category representations?

3. (one page response)

Inference and classification learning tend to lead to different category representations following learning. Which method of learning produces representations that are consistent with Rosch's description of categories? What do you think this implies?
