Abstract

cumnt lilcorh and supporting simulations of similaritybased retrieval disagree in their pDcess model of m a n t i c similarity decisions. We compare two current cornputatid simulations d similarity-ked retrieval, h4AC/FAC and ARCS, with particular attention to the semantic similarity modcls used in each. Fwr experiments are presented cunpciring the pcrfmmance d these simulations on a carunon set of representations. The results suggest that MAC/FAC, with its identicality-based constraint on semantic similarity. provides a better account of retrieval than ARCS, with its similarity-table based model
