Question

Knowledge of a specific episode, event, or individual is a(n) ___________, whereas a(n) ___________ is knowledge of the general characteristics of a particular class of episodes, events, or individuals.

Answer 1

Exemplar; schema

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Exemplar Theory (or Exemplar Model), human memory assigns objects and ideas into broad categories and when encountered with a new object or event, the mind can place the new object or event into its suitable category. For instance, chairs come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, yet they all have in common that they are solid objects with legs and a space for sitting. Therefore, a human can place a stool, and a bench into the exemplar category of "chair."

The schema is a mental process that notifies an individual about how to interpret a given situation. Schemas are developed by the information we gather from our surroundings and then classified into the memory.
