STRUCTURAL ALIGNMENT IN COMPARISON: No Difference Without Similarity
Theories of similarity generally agree that the similarity ofa pair increases with its commonalities and decreases with its differences. Recent research suggests that this comparison process involves an alignment of structured representations yielding commonalities, differences related to the commonalities, and differences unrelated to the commonalities. One counterintuitive prediction of this ...
متن کاملSimilarity and Difference Judgments Under Perceptual and Non-Perceptual Conditions
It has recently been suggested that knowledge is represented in the form of perceptual symbol systems (Barsalou, 1999). According to this view, perceptual states may be used to support higher cognitive processes without being transduced into a representational language. Since the ability to recognize difference and similarity is fundamental for cognition, we examined to what extent it might be ...
متن کاملThe Difference of User Perception between Similarity and Dissimilarity Judgments

The main purpose of this paper is to study the user perception by using similarity judgments. In this study, fifteen innovative products are used as the stimuli which divided into three groups: global, creative and local products. A total of 139 student volunteers participated in the vario...
متن کاملSimilarity Involving Attributes and Relations : Judgments of Similarity and Difference Are Not Inverses
Conventional wisdom and previous research suggest that similarity judgments and difference judgments are inverses of one another. An exception to this rule arises when both relational similarity and attributional similarity are considered . When presented with choices that are relationally or attributionally similar to a standard, human subjects tend to pick the relationally similar choice as m...
متن کاملFluency 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...
