In this study, we evaluated the role of extensional information in the representation of complex concepts. For 10 complex concepts, typicality was predicted using a traditional feature-based prototype model, an instantiation-based spatial exemplar model and an instantiation-based spatial prototype model. Results clearly indicated that the extension of a complex concept plays an important role in its representation, and little or no variance in the observed typicality gradient was accounted for exclusively by the prototype model
