The Semantic Feature Comparison Model is a theory pertaining to the representation of semantic relations in memory. [1] The Sentence Verification task is used in which two nouns, a subject and a predicate, are presented and participants are required to make a semantic decision about them in the form of "An S is a P" verification.[2] The results of the Sentence Verification task suggest that the speed of verification is dependent on the semantic distance between the subject and predicate.
