{"pk":31894,"title":"Simulating Similarity-Based Retrieval: A Comparison of ARCS and MAC/FAC","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Current theories and supporting simulations of similaritybased retrieval disagree in their process model of semantic similarity decisions. We compare two current computational simulations of similarity-based retrieval, MAC/FA C and ARCS, with particular attention to the semantic similarity models used in each. Four experiments are presented comparing the performance of these simulations on a common set of representations. The results suggest that MAC/FAC, with its identicality-based ccmstraint on semantic similarity, provides a better account of retrieval than ARCS, with its similarity-table based model.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Refereed Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/2258x59g","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Keith","middle_name":"","last_name":"Law","name_suffix":"","institution":"Northwest University","department":""},{"first_name":"Kenneth","middle_name":"D.","last_name":"Forbus","name_suffix":"","institution":"Northwest University","department":""},{"first_name":"Dedre","middle_name":"","last_name":"Centner","name_suffix":"","institution":"Northwest University","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"1994-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/31894/galley/22960/download/"}]}
