Wiki Version:
In the present study, the relationship between category extension and intension for eight semantic categories was investigated. It is often tacitly assumed that there is a (strong) extension-intension link. However, a recent study by Hampton and Passanisi (2016) called this hypothesis into question. To conceptually replicate their findings, we employed a category judgment task to measure category extensions and a property generation task to measure intensions. Using their method, that is, correlating extension and intension similarity matrices, we confirmed their findings that similarity between individuals for extensional judgments did not map onto similarity between individuals for intensional judgments. However, a different analysis using logistic regression provided evidence in favor of a link between extension and intension at the individual level. The conflicting findings, resulting from two different approaches, and their theoretical repercussions are discussed.
