NOTE : sturctre of ontological

catagorization are complex

epistemological and metaphysical
matters, thus, beyond scope of this
paper. We shall use catagories to
chracterize, admittledly crudely,
disparities between misconcieved
concepts and the corresponding
'correct' concept. What are relavent
are the instances where concepts
have clearly been miscatagorized.
Following Chi [ REF...], I argue that in
such instacnes, recognition of Ontological Catagories
miscatagorization is vital for
pedagocial intervention.
