Some didactical consequences are discussed on the background of this analysis. By the help of an example (classification of convex quadrangles) hints are given for didactical interpretations of actual models of cognitive psychology dealing with problems of constructing prototypes.application/pdfpsychology of mathematics educationresearch in mathematics educationcognitive processesresearch methods in psychology: mathematical modellingfolyóiratcikkOpen AccessÉva Vásárhelyihttps://doi.org/10.5485/TMCS.2006.0132Teaching Mathematics and Computer Science24Teach.
