Figure 5.

Top panel: Mean Euclidean distances between different superordinate combinations. These distances were derived from the individual similarity maps rather than from the centroid map that is shown in Figure 2. Error bars represent the standard error of the mean. Bottom panel: Basic-level advantage scores for the Car-Chair and Flower-Person combinations (from Lazareva et al., 2004) and for the Car-Person and Chair-Flower combinations (from present report). Numbers below zero indicate that the basic-level discrimination was acquired faster than the superordinate-level discrimination, whereas numbers above zero indicate that the superordinate-level discrimination was acquired faster than the basic-level discrimination.
