Natural+Concept

toc = Definition: = A concept acquired not from a definition but through everyday perceptions and experience. Gen Psych Chapter 7, pp. 203

= Examples: = When you say that a tomato is a vegetable even though it is technically a fruit, it's probably because when you were little, everyone told you that it was a vegetable. This is a natural concept.
