Document Summary
In the functional-equivalence hypothesis, finke described five ways that images can be similar to physical objects. List and explain three of these ways. (3: transformational equivalence. Imagined and physical movements use the same laws: spatial equivalence. Arrangement of elements in images are the same as those in of motion physical objects. Implicit encoding even though not stored explicitly processes. perception: perceptual equivalence, structural equivalence. Information about physical objects can be attained from images. Construction of images and physical objects uses similar. Similar brain mechanisms are used for imagery and. What are the three levels of categories mentioned in the prototype theory and give examples: basic level: it is not very specific but not too broad. Like furniture: superordinate: a broad category, a level above basic. Like a chair: subordinate: one level below basic; which is very specific. What are three problems with the classical view of categorization: all categories do not have a list of defining features.
