The result of Rosch's experiment suggests that participants respond faster to "good" examples of colors, which supports the prototype approach to categorization. In this approach, categories are represented by a prototype or a typical example that possesses the essential features of the category. The "good" examples such as "red" and "green" are closer to the prototype and thus easily recognized, whereas the "poor" examples such as "pink" or "light green" are further away from the prototype and may be harder to categorize.
