It was proposed that different processes exist for the categorization of a test instance using defining features compared to characteristic features.

The Semantic Feature Comparison Model is a theory pertaining to the representation of semantic relations in memory. The Sentence Verification task is used in which two nouns, a subject and a predicate, are presented and participants are required to make a semantic decision about them in the form of "An S is a P" verification. The results of the Sentence Verification task suggest that the speed of verification is dependent on the semantic distance between the subject and predicate.
