Similarity and generalization as discounted integration over higher-order paths in semantic networks

2026-05-29

Abstract excerpt

<p>Similarity and generalization are often assumed to reflect distance in an underlying representational space. In semantic networks, however, distance can be defined by both shortest paths or by multiple indirect pathways. Previous research has shown that non-shortest, higher-order paths influence similarity judgements. Here, we extend these findings by re-analyzing a publicly available dataset to compare shortes...
