Determine whether factual and procedural concepts behave like qualitative concepts

Determine whether factual or procedural concepts exhibit the same articulation and transmission behavior as the creative and qualitative concepts studied in the paper.

Background

The empirical study evaluates concepts drawn specifically from eight creative and qualitative domains. The authors therefore caution that the observed scaling regimes and apparent articulation limits may not generalize to other kinds of concepts.

The limitation is stated as an explicit unresolved question concerning factual and procedural concepts, which were outside the study’s scope.

References

Finally, we specifically studied eight creative and qualitative domains; we do not know whether factual or procedural concepts behave the same way.
