'''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".<ref name=smith>Smith, E. E., Shoben. E. J., and Rips, L. J. (1974). Structure and Process in Semantic Memory: A Feature Model for Semantic Decisions. Psychological Review, 81(3), 214–241.</ref> In this [[semantic model]], there is an assumption that certain occurrences are categorized using its features or attributes of the two subjects that represent the part and the group. A statement often used to explain this model is 'a [[European Robin|robin]] is a bird'. The meaning of the words robin and bird are stored in the memory by virtue of a list of features which can be used to ultimately define their categories, although the extent of their association with a particular category varies.
