special relativity - A whole lot of doubts on Lorentz representation


Can someone tell me in layman's language how the $(1/2,1/2)$ represents a vector field and $(0,1/2)$ or $(1/2,0)$ represents spinors and $(0,0)$ represents scalar field. Please don't be pedantic on mathematics part. I didn't take a course on group theory yet. Give me physical arguments why this is true? I have come across this in QFT course that I am currently enrolled in.
