Fluency in Similarity Judgments
Similarity judgments have traditionally been assumed to arise from an alignment process that seeks correspondences between the objects and relations for two entities. Several recent studies have shown that thematic relationships between items (e.g. bowl and spoon) can influence people’s assessments of similarity above and beyond the effect of feature match and mismatch. We suggest that thematic...
متن کاملOptional pragmatic processes or optional covert linguistic structure?*
The starting point for this paper is an asymmetry between overt linguistic indexicals and (alleged) covert indexicals. It has been proposed that the problem can be solved by making covert indexicals optional (Martí 2006) and that this provides a much better (linguistically respectable) account of the key phenomena than one that advocates an optional process of free (not linguistically mandated)...
متن کاملAnalogical Mapping During Similarity Judgments
We propose that carrying out a similarity comparison of two objects or scenes requires that their components be aligned in a manner akin to analogical mapping . We present an experiment which supports this claim and then examine a computer simulation of these results which is consistent with the idea that a process of mapping and alignment occurs during similarity judgments .
متن کاملRelational similarity and the nonindependence of features in similarity judgments.
Four experiments examined the hypothesis that simple attributional features and relational features operate differently in the determination of similarity judgments. Forced choice similarity judgments ("Is X or Y more similar to Z?") and similarity rating tasks demonstrate that making the same featural change in two geometric stimuli unequally affects their judged similarity to a third stimulus...
متن کاملFamiliarity, Priming, and Perception in Similarity Judgments
We present a novel way of accounting for similarity judgments. Our approach posits that similarity stems from three main sources-familiarity, priming, and inherent perceptual likeness. Here, we explore each of these constructs and demonstrate their individual and combined effectiveness in explaining similarity judgments. Using these three measures, our account of similarity explains ratings of ...
