This week we will return to generics and have a look at a study Kim Fuellenbach has been interested in extending: Gelman, S. A., Ware, E. A., & Kleinberg, F. (2010). Effects of generic language on category content and structure. Cognitive Psychology, 61(3), 273-301. We'll be looking particularly at the different probes used in this study to detect category-property links and essentialist intuitions and asking whether these make sense for our particular research questions.
