The present paper is concerned with a critical examination of recent theoretical approaches to concepts. Specifically, it addresses the question of how to model natural concepts whose exemplars vary along a continuum of concept membership. In the first section, relevant positions in the theory of concepts and categorization are discussed. Subsequently a representational model accounting for people’s comprehension of simple and complex concepts is outlined.
