The effect of pre-exposure on family resemblance categorization for stimuli of varying levels of perceptual difficulty
This study investigated the effect that pre-exposure to a set of stimuli has on the prevalence of family resemblance categorization. 64 participants were tested to examine the effect that pre-exposure type (same-stimuli vs unrelated-stimuli) and the perceptual difficulty of the stimuli (perceptually similar vs perceptually different) has on categorization strategy. There was a significant effec...
متن کاملFamily resemblance, conceptual cohesiveness, and category construction.
Many people have argued that natural categories are organized in terms of a family resemblance principle. Members of family resemblance categories tend to share properties with each other but have no properties that are singly necessary and jointly sufftcient (defining) for category membership. This paper reports seven experiments using a sorting task to evaluate the conditions under which peop...
متن کاملOn 'Family Resemblances' with Fuzzy Sets
This paper takes into account the Wittgenstein’s idea on family resemblances as a particular crisp relation between some fuzzy sets, that is, between some predicates representable from its use. It is shown that all uses of the same predicate actually do have family resemblance, that some pairs of predicates cannot, and a numerical degree of family resemblance is introduced. Keywords— Degree of ...
متن کاملUnended Reflections on Family Resemblance and Predicates Linguistic Migration
This paper takes into account the Wittgenstein’s idea of family resemblance as a particular crisp relation between some fuzzy sets, that is, between some representations of predicates use from its use. It is shown that all uses of the same predicate actually do have some kind of family resemblance, that some pairs of predicates cannot, and how the predicates migration between different universe...
متن کاملAn axiomatization of family resemblance
We invoke concepts from the theory of hypergraphs to give a measure of the closeness of family resemblance, and to make precise the idea of a composite likeness. It is shown that for any positive integer m, for any general term possessing any extent of family resemblance strictly greater than m, there is a taxonomical representation of the term whereby each subordinate taxon has an extent of fa...
