    "title": "All Differences are not Created Equal: A Structural Alignment View of Similarity",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "An emerging view in cognitive psychology is that\nthe determination of similarity involves a comparison\nof structured representations. O n this view, s o m e\ndifferences are related to the commonalities of a pair\n{alignable differences) and others are unrelated to the\ncommonalities of a pair {nonalignable differences).\nPrevious evidence suggests that pairs of similar items\nhave more commonalities and alignable differences\nthan do pairs of dissimilar items. Structural\nalignment further predicts that alignable differences\nshould be easier to findthan nonalignable differences.\nT a k e n together, these assertions lead to the\ncounterintuitive prediction that it should be easier to\nfind differences for similar pairs than for dissimilar\npairs. This prediction is tested in two studies in\nwhich subjects are asked to list differences for as\nm a n y word pairs as possible in a short period of time.\nIn both studies, more differences are listed for similar\npairs than for dissimilar pairs. Further, similar and\ndissimilar pairs differ in the number of alignable\ndifferences listed for them, but not in the number of\nnonalignable differences listed for them. These\nstudies provide additional support for the structural\nalignment view of similarity.",
