JD Smith and JP Minda (see record 1999-15928-001) conducted a meta-analysis of 30 data sets reported in the classification literature that involved use of the" 5–4" category structure introduced by DL Medin and MM Schaffer (1978). The meta-analysis was aimed at investigating exemplar and elaborated prototype models of categorization. In this commentary, the author argues that the meta-analysis is misleading because it includes many data sets from experimental designs that are inappropriate for distinguishing the models. Often, the designs involved manipulations in which the actual 5–4 structure was not, in reality, tested, voiding the predictions of the models. The commentary also clarifies various aspects of the workings of the exemplar-based context model. Finally, concerns are raised that the all-or-none exemplar processes that form part of Smith and Minda's (see record 1999-15928-001) elaborated prototype models are implausible and lacking in generality.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
