Detailed explanation-1: -Explain how a prototype aids in the formation of concepts. The more closely something alines with our prototype of a concepts (i.e. a robin versus a penguin in a category of “birds"), the faster we recognize it as an example of a concept.-refer to the prototype when remembering or seeing something in that category.
Detailed explanation-2: -A proof of concept shows if a product, feature or system can be developed, whilst a prototype shows how it will be developed. For example, a proof of concept might be used to test a technical feature of an online service by quickly building a working model.
