Primes

• Comparison
  • The operation is what cognitive scientists, philosophers of method, and statisticians have all converged on as a foundational move of structured thought — Tversky's (1977) feature-matching account treats similarity itself as the output of a comparison process over weighted feature sets, parameterized by direction and salience.
• Contrast
  • Tversky (1977) made this explicit in his feature-contrast model of similarity, showing that perceived similarity and contrast are functions of how features are weighted within a comparison frame, not properties of the objects in isolation.

Domain-specific
