- Title
Rules work on one representation; similarity compares two representations.
- Authors
Bailey, Todd M.
- Abstract
Rules and similarity refer to qualitatively different processes. The classification of' a stimulus by rules involves abstract and usually do- main-specific knowledge operating primarily on the target representation. In contrast, similarity is a relation between the target representation and another representation of the same type. It is also useful to distinguish associationist processes as a third type of cognitive process.
