Article Title：The role of contrast categories in natural language concepts

Abstract：
In this paper. seven experiments are described in which the effect of contrast categories on the within-category structure of superordinate and basic level natural language concepts was studied. intension-based and extension-based predictors originating from both the target category and a contrast category were used to predict typicality ratings and response times in twt, different speeded categorization tasks. Virtually no evidence for contrast category effects was found in any of the experiments. These findings contrast with what one would expect based on results reported by Rosch and Mervis (1975) anti on many exemplar models. in which a contrast category effect is explicitly assumed, (C) 2001 Academic Press.
