(iii) weighting of the salience of the domains (context-dependent) (iv) information on how the regions of different domains are related. (v) information on the part-whole relations. --- I 125 Hierarchy of object categories: is reflected in language and cognition. There are three types of generalization: (i) including convex regions of domains (ii) reduction of the part-to-whole relations for a category (iii) reduction of the domains associated with a category. E.g. a plastic duck only shares the form with the biological concept of the duck. The generalized term is then "duck-shaped object".}, note = { Gä I P.
