Structures conceptuelles, représentation des objets et des relations entre les objets.
Résumé
This article provides an overview of psychological studies of object concepts, highlighting the more recent re-conceptualizations, and the latest developments in research in this field. These developments have tended to focus on the notion of context, as well as on the notion of causal relations between features. Our theoretical analysis of this field is backed up by experimental illustrations. We complete with an examination of " category-specific impairments " studies, in the light of the evolution of concept theories.
