Our world is filled with sets of objects, events, and ideas that share some common quality while differing in other characteristics. An organism that learns to respond to the common quality of a given set has learned a concept. The child, for example, learns the concept of blueness when he is able to select a blue balloon or a blue ball or a bluewagon from similar objects of different colors. When he makes this conceptual response, he is abstracting the blueness from other properties of the objects, like size, shape, or function. Similarly the child learns the concept of trianglewhen he distinguishes triangles of various shapes (right-angle, isosceles, scalene, equilateral, and obtuse) from other geo-metrical forms. Or he learns the concepts of right and wrong when he discriminates between socially approved and disapproved behavior .
In experimental psychology the field of concept formation has achieved neither the methodological nor the conceptual unity characterizing such areas as sensation, perception, learning, and motivation. Traditionally, psychologists have not looked upon conceptual behavior as reflecting any unique or fundamental psychological process. Instead the common view has largely been that conceptual behavior is a function of the interaction between basic psychological processes. As a result, psychologists have for the most part sought to extend theories from other areas (e.g., learning, perception) to conceptual behavior instead of formulating hypotheses concerned exclusively with the facts of concept formation.
