What does a concept allow individuals to do?

Solve problems using a logical rule
Group similar objects, events, ideas, or people mentally
Remember past experiences perfectly
Use heuristics without error

The correct answer is: Group similar objects, events, ideas, or people mentally

Concepts allow individuals to mentally group similar objects, events, ideas, or people together. By categorizing information into concepts, individuals can organize and make sense of the world around them. This mental grouping helps in forming associations, aiding memory recall, and facilitating problem-solving by recognizing patterns and similarities among different entities. This ability to create and use concepts is fundamental to human cognition and plays a crucial role in how we understand and interact with our environment.
