I did some work on this long ago, but from an associative learning perspective. I'm sure you can find more updated literature.https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/17470218.2010.493615 …

Thank you both! May i ask whether you favour either exemplar or prototype theory?
-
I'm a modeller. I favour what can help us give understanding to a system.
But! I know what you're asking! Exemplar theory (models built based on it) tends to give a better account of the data in many categorisation tasks though. -
If I am forced to choose, I 'd to go with exemplars, but I rather favour a simple associative account.

Damn you, animal people!

That paper is with freaking humans!

I never ever work with animal data.
Except the rats and the pigeons. They don't count because I don't ever touch them, right? -
hahahahaha. Give me 100 rats and pigs before a single human. They follow instructions!!! Pigs=pigeons, you would know this if you ever work with them

Also I always think levels of analysis matter. They are the only way to understand a complex system (society, brains, etc.) and situating the discussion on a level or levels is paramount for scientific understanding/progress.
