Mapping from stimuli to conceptual spaces by using a combination of psychologically derived similarity ratings and machine learning.
We examine the relationship between the reaction times (RTs) of human participants and the position of the instance in the conceptual space.
This empirical study offers evidence that supports the position that narrative similarity can be equated to the existence of a common summary between the narratives involved.
The ability to identify similarities between narratives has been argued to be central in human interactions. Previous work that sought to formalize this task has hypothesized that narrative similarity can be equated to the existence of a common summary between the narratives involved. We offer tangible psychological evidence in support of this hypothesis.
