Description
Summary:Current research data on identifying analogies between word pairs has often overlooked the implications of the type of relations used. However, although the identification of different types of relations clearly involves distinct processes, not enough attention has been given to the identification of these differences. This study aimed to compare two semantic relations (analogies of belonging and inclusion) regarding the accuracy and response time in identification. 79 college students (age 18-26) participated. Data analysis revealed a better performance and reduced response time to detect analogies of the belonging type. The theoretical implications of these findings are discussed.
