语义相似性的感知来自不同的比较和整合过程。概念组合的双重过程模型认为，属性组合（例如，伞形树）需要比较，而关系组合（例如，PANCAKE SPATATTORY）需要集成。本研究使用相似性作为这个双重过程模型的测试。参与者（N = 168）提出的属性和关系的概念组合。一半的参与者在对组成概念的相似性进行评级之前解释了这些组合，而另一半则在不一起解释概念的情况下提供了相似性评级。实验结果表明，属性组合降低了构成概念的相似性，而关系组合增加了构成概念的相似性。这一结果表明，属性和关系的组合发生通过不同的过程。后测（N = 60）的结果表明，这些影响是特定的特定概念进行比较或集成，并不推广到其他概念不进行比较或集成。本研究通过比较和整合对语义相似性知觉的不同影响，支持了概念组合的双过程模型。(C)2003年认知科学学会All rights reserved.
The perception of semantic similarity derives from distinct processes of comparison and integration. A dual process model of conceptual combination claims that attributive combination (e.g., UMBRELLA TREE) entails comparison, while relational combination (e.g., PANCAKE SPATULA) requires integration. The present research uses similarity as a test of this dual process model. Participants (N = 168) were presented attributive and relational conceptual combinations. Half of the participants interpreted the combinations before rating the similarity of their constituent concepts, while the other half provided similarity ratings without interpreting the concepts together. The experiment revealed that attributive combination decreased the perceived similarity of the constituent concepts, whereas relational combination increased the similarity of the constituents. This result indicates that attributive and relational combination occur via distinct processes. Results of a post-test (N = 60) suggested that these effects were specific to the particular concepts compared or integrated, and do not generalize to other concepts not compared or integrated. The present research thus supported a dual process model of conceptual combination by demonstrating differential effects of comparison and integration on the perception of semantic similarity.
