Natural concepts are based on :

  • A.prototypes
  • B.a set of rules/properties
  • C.schemas
  • D.propositions

Answer: A

Natural concepts, such as bird or furniture, are based on prototypes: we judge membership by resemblance to a typical example (Rosch), and the category has fuzzy boundaries. Artificial concepts are defined by a set of rules or properties, like a triangle, and schemas and propositions are other forms of knowledge organisation and not the basis of natural categories. So prototypes is the answer, and the option with rules or properties describes artificial concepts.
