Table 2.

Category‐level typicality ratings (1‐6) from Pilot Study 3 show similarities across Label types for Typical vs. Atypical exemplar pictures for the ten categories used in study 2

Typical items (Morphological, M = 5.34, SD = 0.14; Orthographic, M = 5.09, SD = 0.32), Atypical items (Morphological, M = 4.28, SD = 0.69; Orthographic, M = 3.88, SD = 0.76). A Typicality (Typical vs. Atypical) by Label type (Morphological vs. Orthographic) ANOVA revealed only a main effect of Typicality, F (1, 4) = 22.97, P = 0.009. No main effect of Label type or interactions between Typicality and Label type were found.
