Abstract: In this criticism of the psychological research on 'concepts,' it is argued that the questions being asked by researchers are themselves questionable. First, a distinction is made between the oft-conflated questions of, on one hand, what features humans analyze when categorizing objects as, e.g., birds and non-birds, and, on the other, what properties are necessary and sufficient for birdhood. Particular troubles for some popular experimental models are then highlighted. The discussion is concluded with the suggestion that our conimonsense notion of a 'concept' may not match up with what goes on in human cognizing.
