- Carrot

Doh! how predictable am I?... no wonder I'm a fish at p*ker.

The psychological explanation is that categories are represented as stereotypes in our brains. When you think of the category "bird" you don't visualise a penguin... this is basically it; Carrot is a common stereotype for vegetable and red hammer is a common stereotype for tools. Which stereotype will represent each group depends agmonst others on culture and age of aquisition.
