a. Tariq: The prototype approach works well for concepts that are nouns, whereas the exemplar approach works well for concepts that are verbs, especially verbs that show action.
b. Clifford: The prototype approach says that concepts are associated with one best example of a category; the exemplar approach says that concepts are associated with many specific examples of a category.
c. Ekaterina: At first, researchers emphasized that these two approaches would be very different from each other; now researchers say that they are identical, when focusing on everyday objects and organisms.
d. Lynne: The prototype approach emphasizes items that exist in real life; the exemplar approach emphasizes geometric figures that don't exist in real life.
