Categories and Particulars: Prototype Effects in Estimating Spatial Location.

Huttenlocher, Janellen; And Others

Psychological Review, v98 n3 p352-76 Jul 1991

Four experiments involving a total of 131 University of Chicago (Illinois) students and faculty are reported in support of the model. (SLD)
