Question
What are concepts?
✓
Answer
Concepts are mental categories for objects and events, which are similar to each other in one or in more than one way.
Concepts once formed get organised in categories a category itself is a concept but it also functions to organise similarities among other concepts based on common features.
For example, the word mango is a category because different varieties of mangoes can be subsumed within it and it is also a concept within the category of fruit.
Concepts may also get organised in schema. They are mental frameworks which represents our knowledge and assumptions about the world. For example: A schema of a drawing room will have different things, like a sofa set, center table, paintings, etc., which are found in a drawing room and when they are found in the drawing room.
