THE REPRESENTATION OF SEMANTIC CATEGORIES

语义类别表征模型的实证检验，开发 由Caplan与R. A. NIA的巴尔透露， 预测类别结构和类别间差异 范畴关系。 在该模型中，描述了类别表示 在两个“维度”上：1）决定类别的特征 成员资格对于孤立的对象是正确的，或者描述一种关系 该对象和其他对象之间的关系，以及2）特征是否 被认为对所有类别成员都是必要的，或者只对某些类别成员是正确的 成员

Empirical tests of a model of semantic category representation, developed by Caplan in collaboration with R. A. Barr from NIA, have revealed predicted inter-category differences in category structure and inter- category relations. In the model, category representations are described on two "dimensions": 1) whether the features that determine category membership are true of an object in isolation or describe a relation between that object and other object(s), and 2) whether the features are judged to be necessary for all category members, or are only true of some members.
