	UCB Psychology Dept: Eleanor Rosch
		Professor Rosch is known for her work in concepts and categorization in cognitive psychology which has been influential in many fields (one of which is prototype theory in linguistics) and for her more recent work on Eastern psychologies and the psychology of religion.

	Principles of Categorization
		Using a category-membership verification technique, Rosch (1973) found that the differences in reaction time to verify good and poor members were far more extreme for 10-year-old children than for adults, indicating that the children had learned the category membership of the prototypical members earlier than that of other members.
		Rosch (1975a) showed that when subjects were given sentence frames such as "X is virtually Y," they reliably placed the more prototypical member of a pair of items into the referent slot, a finding which is isomorphic to Tversky's work on asymmetry of similarity relations (Chapter 4).
		Rosch (1977) has shown that prototypicality ratings for members of superordinate categories predicts the extent to which the member term is substitutable for the superordinate word in sentences.

		In a series of experiments in the 1970s, Rosch demonstrated that when people label an everday object or experience, they rely less on abstract definitions than on a comparison with what they regard as the best representative of the category designated by that word.
		Rosch also showed that the Dani tribe of New Guinea, although their language lacks words for colors except fl and white, still distinguish among other colors.
		Rosch extended her conclusions to universal statements about language, claiming that people in different cultures tend to categorize objects in similar ways.

	School of Information Science - Hall of Fame
		Eleanor Rosch is known for her innovative research in the fields of cognitive science and psychology, where she has focused on categorization, linguistics, and mental representation of objects and concepts.
		A basic tenet demonstrated by Rosch's experiments is that people classify an everyday object or experience less on abstract definitions than on what they regard as the best representation of the appropriate category.
		Rosch has also devoted a great deal of study to cross-cultural psychology and Eastern psychology, as well as linguistics and the application of categories to meaning and understanding in language.

	Dialog on Leadership: Professor Eleanor Rosch Interview
		The focus of Eleanor Rosch's more recent work is on how to broaden and deepen the analytical notions of cognition in the cognitive sciences by relating them to other ways of knowing that have been cultivated through various meditative practices in many cultures around the world.
		Rosch distinguishes between two types of knowledge: analytical knowledge (cognitive science) and what she terms "wisdom awareness" or "primary knowing." Says Rosch: "The analytic picture offered by the cognitive sciences is this: the world consists of separate objects and states of affairs.
		Eleanor Rosch is a Professor at the University of California at Berkeley, in the Department of Psychology.

	Categorization - Psychology Wiki - A Wikia wiki
		Since the research by Eleanor Rosch and George Lakoff in the 1970s, categorization can also be viewed as the process of grouping things based on prototypes - the idea of necessary and sufficient conditions is almost never met in categories of naturally occurring things.

	Applying Cognitive Classification Principles to the Study of Prepositions (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		According to Rosch, the perceived world structure contains an organised and structured set of correlational attributes and that the ability by humans to perceive these attributes is a result of their interaction with the physical and social environment.
		Rosch's work also emphasised the notion of prototypicality derived from psychological investigations as a criterion to classification in the mental lexicon.
		An advantage of Rosch's (1978) work on categorisation and prototypes to pedagogy is the value of logic that would accompany the process of categorisation.

	Alex Wright : Eleanor Rosch, Recategorized (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		For the last few years, I've been fascinated with Eleanor Rosch's work on prototype theory (which George Lakoff took as his starting point for Women, Fire and Dangerous Things).
		Briefly, Rosch's theory suggests that people create categories by mapping their sensory perceptions against cognitive "prototypes"; in contrast to the traditional classical view of categories as idealized expressions of some transcendental higher truth.
		So, I suppose it should come as no surprise that Rosch turns out to be a Buddhist; I just discovered she was a student of Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche.

	Adventure of Strategy: A New (?) Way of “Knowing”
		Eleanor Rosch, professor of cognitive psychology at the University of California at Berkeley, is on a quest to re-invent psychology.
		The concepts that Rosch expounds have close parallels in ecology, where “survival of the fittest” is the most basic of rules.
		This requires engagement at an emotional level (“the heart of the heart of the heart,” as Rosch puts it,) as well as the analytical level.

	Surrendering Control - from Presence
		According to Rosch’s theory, primary knowing is possible because mind and world are aspects of the same underlying field.
		Speaking of her experiences as a longtime meditator and student of Buddhism and Taoism, Rosch observed, “If you follow your nature enough, if you follow your nature as it moves, if you follow so far that you really let go, then you find that you’re actually the original being, the original way of being.
		Referring to the Taoist notion of Source, Rosch said, “There’s this awareness, this little spark, which is completely independent of all the things that we think are so important—achievement or nonachievement, even being alive or dead, or awake or asleep.

		Eleanor Rosch, has been teaching and researching both cognitive psychlogy and Buddhist psychology for many years at Berkeley.
		At this point in the narrative, Varela, Thompson and Rosch take a surprizing turn and devote a chapter to modern advances in theories of evolution, and recent writings about evolution as a mutual "ecology and developement in congruence," rather a co-evolution of species and self-organizing configurations, conecting organisms in "structural couplings" with their biological networks.
		Varela, Thompson, and Rosch are to be applauded for their effort.

	Reflecting on what meditation can tell psychology
		And that, in many ways, summarizes what Buddhist meditation can teach psychology about the human mind, argued Berkeley psychology professor Eleanor Rosch, PhD, in a paper delivered at APA's 2002 Annual Convention.
		Instead, Rosch holds that the field ought to study such experience "to challenge our image of what normal everyday consciousness itself may be." In her view, consciousness is a limited way of knowing, while meditation-induced "awareness" is a broader, wiser way of knowing--a sort of expanded consciousness.
		By folding in more such ideas from meditation and Eastern spirituality, psychology would, Rosch believes, do more to "offer a path a path of compassionate action."
