Abstract

Ease of prototype abstraction and recognition of new instances belonging to the prototype is facilitated by increasing the number of instances sorted together during original learning. It is concluded that the abstraction of a prototype undergoes repeated change as a function of the number of instances which defined it, and that the ability to correctly recognize new exemplars of a concept is dependent upon the number of instances as well.
