A large portion of human knowledge comprises “abstract” concepts that lack readily perceivable properties (eg,“love” and “justice”). Since abstract concepts lack such …
Abstraction processes involve two variables that are often confused with one another: concreteness (banana versus belief) and specificity (chair versus furniture or Buddhism …
To study linguistically coded concepts, researchers often resort to the Property Listing Task (PLT). In a PLT, participants are asked to list properties that describe a concept (eg, for DOG …
