Detailed explanation-1: -Concept formation begins with a determination of the common characteristics or attributes of things, qualities, and events which can then be united to form a semantic category on the basis of these similar attributes.
Detailed explanation-2: -Concept formation refers to a higher-order mental process that acts on information that has been perceived through our sensory organs and encoded and stored in memory.
Detailed explanation-3: -Concept formation depends on learning. The concept has a logical basis and it is constructed based on direct knowledge, real observation, and real experience. The concept also keeps on changing as needed. Concepts change when new knowledge is accumulated or a new form of the interrelationship of facts appears.
Detailed explanation-4: -The formation of clear concepts, therefore, involves the three processes – generalisation, differentiation and abstraction. The greater, the wider and the richer an individual’s experience with different objects and stimuli the better is the process of formation of concepts.
