Challenging Assumptions about Concepts.

Barsalou, Lawrence W.

Cognitive Development, v8 n2 p169-80 Apr-Jun 1993

This commentary on the article by Jones and Smith in this issue examines whether coherent conceptual cores exist in long-term memory; abstract propositions constitute conceptual cores; concepts in long-term memory control behavior; and the primary purpose of developing and using concepts is to taxonomize the environment.
