{ "pk": 25546, "title": "Task-General Object Similarity Processes", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "The similarity between objects is judged in a wide variety of\ncontexts from visual search to categorization to face\nrecognition. There is a correspondingly rich history of\nsimilarity research and many known behavioral trends and\nmodels of similarity. Nevertheless, most similarity behaviors\nhave been identified and tested only in a comparatively\nnarrow set of unique contexts. This leaves open the question\nof the extent to which similarity judgments rely on common\nprocesses or resources and the specific nature of those\nprocesses if so. We tested three diverse yet well-established\nmeasures of object similarity using identical,\npsychometrically controlled stimuli and identical analyses\nacross tasks. We found several consistent behavioral effects\nacross tasks that provide clues as to the nature of task-general\nsimilarity processes and serve as diagnostic targets for\ncomputational models of similarity", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "similarity; psychology; concepts and categories;\ndecision making; vision" } ], "section": "Papers", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/6gs2578r", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Gavin", "middle_name": "W", "last_name": "Jenkins", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of Iowa", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Larissa", "middle_name": "K", "last_name": "Samuelson", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of Iowa", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "John", "middle_name": "P", "last_name": "Spencer", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of Iowa", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "2015-01-01T10:00:00-08:00", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/25546/galley/15170/download/" } ] }
