Similarity, Separability, and the Triangle Inequality.

Tversky, Amos; Gati, Itamar

Psychological Review, v89 n2 p123-54 Mar 1982

The coincidence hypothesis predicts that dissimilarity between objects that differ on two separable dimensions is larger than predicted from their unidimensional differences on the basis of triangle inequality and segmental additivity. The coincidence hypothesis was supported in two-dimensional stimuli studies. (Author/CM)
