A prevalent view is based on semantic features, considering conceptual representations as distributed patterns of activity across sets of features related to different aspects of knowledge and experience (e.g., Rosch and Mervis, 1975; Vigliocco et al, 2004; Cree et al, 2006)
Distinctive features occur in few concepts and allow people to distinguish very similar concepts (Grondin et al, 2009), while shared features occur across many concepts indicating similarity among them (Montefinese et al, 2014a)
