Abstract
Semantic memory tasks can focus on intensions (features and properties) or extensions (reference and categorization). There is evidence for stable individual differences in each of these tasks, but these differences do not correspond across tasks. Two further studies are reported showing that under certain conditions the correspondence can be demonstrated. Reasons for the lack of connection are discussed in terms of different systems for conceptual understanding involving similarity versus theory-based conceptualisation.
