If we were conducting an experiment on the effect knowledge has on categorization, we might compare the results of expert and non-expert groups. Suppose we compare horticulturalists to people with little knowledge about plants. If we asked the groups to name, as specifically as possible, five different plants seen around campus, we would predict that the expert group would primarily label plants on the _ level, while the non-expert group would primarily label plants on the _ level.

Suppose we compare horticulturalists to people with little knowledge about plants. If we asked the groups to name, as specifically as possible, five different plants seen around campus, we would predict that the expert group would primarily label plants on the subordinate level, while the non-expert group would primarily label plants on the basic level.

a horticulturist will classify them based on their subordinate/scientific or specific classes while a non-expert will classify them based on their basic knowledge
