How does the prototypes and deviatons model of concepts differ from the classical model?

In the prototypes and deviations model, the class determines the content of the concept and not the other way around.

In the prototypes and deviations model, membership of a class is an all-or-nothing matter, while in the classical model is is a matter of degree.

In the classical model, it is difficult to explain why some statements are tautologous, while in the prototypes and deviations model this is very easy.

4 / 4

What is the relation between the abstraction of a concept and the size of the class for which the concept stands?

There is no relation at all.

The more abstract the concept, the larger the class.

The more concrete the concept, the smaller the class.
