Question

(CON) Karen and Larry are taking part in a study. They are both shown a picture of a fish and asked to say what the picture is as fast as possible. Larry has been an expert fisherman since his early twenties and Karen knows nothing about fish. Which of the following statements would be true as a result of the study?

A. Karen would say ""fish"" because she is not an expert and is identifying the photo at the basic level. Larry would say ""salmon"" just as fast as Karen because he is an expert on fish and is identifying the photo at the superordinate level.
B. Karen would say ""fish"" because she is not an expert on fish and is identifying the photo at the basic level. Larry would say ""fish"" just as fast as Karen because even though he is an expert he would still identify the photo on the basic level.
C. Karen would say ""fish"" because she is not an expert on fish and is identifying the photo at the basic level. Larry would say ""salmon"" just as fast as Karen because he is an expert and is identifying the photo at the subordinate level.
D. Karen would say ""fish"" because she is not an expert on fish and is identifying the photo at the superordinate level. Larry would say ""salmon"" slightly slower than Karen because even though he is an expert on fish it takes him more time. He is identifying the photo at the subordinate level.

Answer 1

In the study, Karen would identify the photo of the fish at the basic level, while Larry would identify it at the subordinate level.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct statement as a result of the study would be D. Karen would say "fish" because she is not an expert on fish and is identifying the photo at the superordinate level. Larry, on the other hand, would say "salmon" slightly slower than Karen because even though he is an expert on fish, it takes him more time. He is identifying the photo at the subordinate level.
