a, Examples of three features for the same category (animals). Notice that the items—for instance, dolphin versus tiger—change their similarities to one another depending on context (feature), and semantic projection recovers these cross-feature differences. In other words, the model does not recover the same relationships across features. b, Examples of three categories for the same feature (danger). Sample items are highlighted in red for illustrative purposes. For descriptive and inferential statistics, see Table 1. Each panel is based on data from participants.
