Hampton, J. A. (2005). Rules and similarity - a false dichotomy. Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 28(1), p. 26.
Abstract
Unless restricted to explicitly held, sharable beliefs that control and justify a person’s behavior, the notion of a rule has little value as an explanatory concept. Similarity-based processing is a general characteristic of the mind-world interface where internal processes (including explicitly represented rules) act on the external world. The distinction between rules and similarity is therefore misconceived.
