Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When categories are formed using exemplars, each new object is compared to the existing members of the category to determine its category membership. This means that category membership is based on similarity to other exemplars in the category, rather than a set of necessary features or comparison to a representative member. Thus, option B is the correct choice.
