1
Understand the definition of each type of concept: Formal concepts are defined by specific rules or features, superordinate concepts are the most general form of a type of concept, and prototypes are the best example or representation of a concept.
Consider how each type of concept is formed: Formal concepts are often learned in educational settings, superordinate concepts are broad categories, and prototypes are based on the most typical examples.
Reflect on how natural concepts are formed: They develop from experiences and interactions with the world, rather than being strictly defined or taught.
Analyze the problem statement: It suggests that the concept in question is formed through real-world experiences, which aligns with the definition of natural concepts.
Conclude that natural concepts are the result of people's experiences with concepts in the real world, as they are not bound by strict rules and are more flexible and adaptable based on individual experiences.
