1 Preliminary Results of a Cognitum Study Investigating i the Traditional Tetrapod Classes Timothy R. Brophy Liberty University
2 Anastasia Hohriakova, 2002 Out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them. And whatever Adam called each living creature, that was its name. So Adam gave names to all cattle, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. Genesis 2:19-20
3 INTRODUCTION God purposely created organisms in a pattern specifically recognizable to man and created man capable of recognizing that pattern (Sanders and Wise, 2003)
4 What is a Cognitum? A Cognitum is defined as a group of organisms recognized through the human cognitive senses as belonging together and sharing an underlying, unifying gestalt (Sanders and Wise, 2003) A cognitum can exist at any level of inclusiveness and may or may not be hierarchically nested within other cognita (Sanders and Wise, 2003) Study higher-level patterns in nature & relieve other taxonomic concepts from considerations that might hinder their development
5 METHODS & MATERIALS Compiled stack of 57 color photographs p representing major groups within tetrapod classes Randomly shuffled stack; same each time 3 amphibian orders, 6 reptile orders/suborders, 27 bird orders & 21 mammal orders Natural/semi-natural habitats Not to scale ( 5 ½ x 8 ); 2 per sheet
6 METHODS & MATERIALS 67 college students asked to sort photos & give criteria used in determining each group Given very few instructions i on how to sort photos Mechanisms by which to communicate classification Any criteria ; intuition or gut reaction Not given pre-designed categories or asked to sort into mutually exclusive or hierarchical groups
