➤ How does an ostensive definition work?
An ostensive definition works by ostension: pointing, showing, or demonstrating examples while naming them. Learners map the label onto shared perceptual features or actions. Context, contrast cases, and repeated exemplars help disambiguate meaning. Demonstration often pairs with corrective feedback to establish clear category boundaries.
