TLDR
Four experiments dealt with the verification of semantic relations and indicated that semantic distance could predict RTs in another categorization task and choices in an analogies task and place constraints on a theory of semantic memory.About:

A spreading-activation theory of semantic processing
TL;DR: The present paper shows how the extended theory can account for results of several production experiments by Loftus, Juola and Atkinson's multiple-category experiment, Conrad's sentence-verification experiments, and several categorization experiments on the effect of semantic relatedness and typicality by Holyoak and Glass, Rips, Shoben, and Smith, and Rosch.

Stereotypes and prejudice: Their automatic and controlled components.
TL;DR: In this article, a theoretical model based on the dissociation ofantomatic and controlled processes involved in prejudice was proposed, which suggests that the stereotype is automatically activated in the presence of a member (or some symbolic equivalent) of the stereotyped group and that Iow-prejudiee responses require controlled inhibition of the automatically activated stereotype.

Family Resemblances: Studies in the Internal Structure of Categories
Eleanor Rosch,Carolyn B. Mervis +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the hypothesis that the members of categories which are considered most prototypical are those with most attributes in common with other members of the category and least attributes with other categories and found that family resemblance offers an alternative to criterial features in defining categories.

Why there are complementary learning systems in the hippocampus and neocortex: insights from the successes and failures of connectionist models of learning and memory.
TL;DR: The account presented here suggests that memories are first stored via synaptic changes in the hippocampal system, that these changes support reinstatement of recent memories in the neocortex, that neocortical synapses change a little on each reinstatement, and that remote memory is based on accumulated neocorticals changes.

A Theory of Memory Retrieval.
TL;DR: A theory of memory retrieval is developed and is shown to apply over a range of experimental paradigms, and it is noted that neural network models can be interfaced to the retrieval theory with little difficulty and that semantic memory models may benefit from such a retrieval scheme.

Analysis of individual differences in multidimensional scaling via an n-way generalization of 'eckart-young' decomposition
J. Douglas Carroll,Jih-Jie Chang +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an individual differences model for multidimensional scaling is outlined in which individuals are assumed differentially to weight the several dimensions of a common "psychological space" and a corresponding method of analyzing similarities data is proposed, involving a generalization of Eckart-Young analysis to decomposition of three-way (or higher-way) tables.

Subjective Probability: A Judgment of Representativeness
Daniel Kahneman,Amos Tversky +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the subjective probability of an event, or a sample, is determined by the degree to which it is similar in essential characteristics to its parent population and reflects the salient features of the process by which it was generated.

Facilitation in recognizing pairs of words: Evidence of a dependence between retrieval operations.
TL;DR: The results of both experiments support a retrieval model involving a dependence between separate successive decisions about whether each of the two strings is a word.
