Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Prototypes are mental structures that represent an average or ideal example of a category or concept. Children's prototypes become refined as they are exposed to positive and negative examples and receive explanations for why certain examples fit or do not fit the category or concept. Orienting reflexes and instincts do not involve mental structures or categorization, and cognitive maps refer to spatial awareness rather than categorization.
