Abstract
There are three points of difference between psychologists' assumption
s and those that Millikan suggests: (1) concepts as representations ve
rsus concepts as reflecting a capacity; (2) concepts having a role in
categorization and inference versus a role in reidentification; and (3
) the ''basic level'' as an aspect of the ''vertical'' dimension of ca
tegories versus being a kind of category, on a par with natural kinds.
