383 ;;Quote: basic level of abstraction carries the most information; most differentiated; real-world

384 ;;Quote: cue validity is a predictor that an attribute corresponds to a category

386 ;;Quote: for nonbiological taxonomies, basic categories described by typical muscle movements; e.g., sitting down on a chair

387 ;;Quote: objects easily recognized from an outline tracing; as good as criterial attributes or full view of object parts

387+;;Quote: objects in a basic category have similar shapes

387 ;;Quote: have mental images of concrete objects in basic categories; superordinate objects not easily identified, subordinate objects like the corresponding basic category

391 ;;Quote: for nonbiological taxonomies, basic categories have more attributes than superordinate categories

391+;;Quote: for nonbiological taxonomies, basic categories are identified by shared attributes

417 ;;Quote: sorting objects into basic level categories is virtually perfect; significantly better than sorting into superordinate categories

423 ;;Quote: nearly total agreement in the use of basic level names for objects; superordinate and subordinate names seldom used for free-naming

426 ;;Quote: a child's first utterances of concrete nouns are at the basic level of abstraction; basic level names used almost exclusively during free naming
