Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Class inclusion is the cognitive ability to understand that a smaller category (e.g. cardinals) is part of a larger category (e.g. birds). To answer this question correctly, Jillian needs to understand that blue jays are a subset of birds and not all birds are blue jays. Therefore, she needs to have the cognitive ability of class inclusion.
