Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The feature-comparison model is a psychological theory of semantic memory hypothesized by Smith, Shoben and Rips (1974). The feature-Comparison model was purposed in contrast to the semantic network approach that was purposed by Collins and Quillian. The feature-comparison model is much simpler than the Collins and Quillian network in its structure, however it is also more elaborate in its assumptions about retrieval as well. The Feature-Comparison model proposes that humans semantic memory works by the use of feature lists. Feature lists assume that semantic memory is a collection of lists of semantic features, which are simple, one-element characteristics or properties of the concept.
