The '''Semantic Feature Comparison Model''' is a theory pertaining to the representation of semantic relations in memory. <ref name=Smith>{{cite journal|last=Smith|first=Edward E.|coauthors=Shoben, Edward J.; Rips, Lance J.|title=Structure and process in semantic memory: A featural model for semantic decisions|journal=Psychological Review|date=May 1974|volume=81|issue=3|pages=214-241|pmid=615948401|url=http://search.proquest.com.proxy1.lib.uwo.ca:2048/psycinfo/docview/615948401/135015D1DCE32C21F9B/2?accountid=15115|accessdate=20 February 2012}}</ref> 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.<ref name=Collins>{{cite journal|last=Collins|first=Allan M.|coauthors=Quillian, M.

Semantic Feature Comparison Model is used “to derive predictions about categorization times in a situation where a subject must rapidly decide whether a test item is a member of a particular target category” (Smith et al, 1974, p. 215).
