Problem # 7 Correct Marks: 1 Theme: Interdisciplinary Inspiration

The Classical view of categories is characterized by the follow statements. One statement is wrong. Which?

A. Categories are arbitrary. Typically the ways we choose to categorize objects are culturally and linguistically based

B. The levels in a hierachy (lattice) of categories have a different status , with the middle layer being most fundamental
to everyday thinking (basic level) in contrast to more abstract (superordinate) and more detailed (subordinate) levels

C. Categories have defining attributes (features/value combinations). All members share them, No nonmembers share
them and there are no overlap between members and nonmembers

D. The Intension (set of attributes) determines the extension of a category (its members)

E. The member space has no internal structure and all members are regarded as equal and first class citizens.

Problem # 8 Correct Marks: 1 Theme: Interdisciplinary Inspiration

The Modern or natural view of a categories is characterized by the follow statements. One statement is wrong. Which?

A. Categories are in many case motivated by properties of our sensory system and the world surrounding us.

B. Categories are built around central members or prototypes defined by sharing more attributes with other members than
with nonmembers. Members are graded based on typicality

C. Obviously typicality generates a topology of the member space

D. The Intension (set of attributes) crisply determines the extension of a category (its members)

E. The levels in a hierachy (lattice) of categories have a different status , with the middle layer being most fundamental to
everyday thinking (basic level) in contrast to more abstract (superordinate) and more detailed (subordinate) levels
