Table 3.

Category‐level typicality ratings (1‐6) from Pilot Study 5 show similarities across Label types for Typical vs. Atypical exemplar pictures for the ten categories used in study 3

Morphological
Typical Atypical
PAPER writing paper 5.13 toilet paper 4.87
PHONE cell phone 5.76 rotary phone 3.68
BALL basketball 5.55 football 4.48
BOOK textbook 5.13 notebook 3.48
CHAIR folding chair 5.48 rocking chair 3.24

SHOES loafers 5.30 slippers 3.15
PANTS trousers 5.85 overalls 4.19
VEHICLE car 5.96 train 3.59
WRITING INSTRUMENT pencil 5.81 chalk 4.33
VEGETABLE celery 5.59 eggplant 4.96

Typical items (Morphological, M = 5.45, SD = 0.07; Nontransparent, M = 5.67, SD = 0.09), Atypical items (Morphological, M = 3.67, SD = 0.15; Nontransparent, M = 4.03, SD = 0.18). A Typicality (Typical vs. Atypical) by Label type (Morphological vs. Nontransparent) ANOVA revealed only a main effect of Typicality, F (1, 4) = 35.60, P = 0.004. No significant main effect of Label type or interactions between Typicality and Label type were found.
