Abstract
As part of an investigation of experimental approaches to the descriptive semantics of some Zapotec verbs, subjects performed multi-trial free recall and judged similarity tasks. From the results of these experiments, indices of semantic similarity were calculated and analyzed. A statistically significant Spearman Rank Correlation between the set of similarity indices from the free recall task and the judged similarity task indicates that there is a similar underlying organization. The results of this research bear directly on critical issues raised by Cole and his associates in their pursuit of an “experimental anthropology of thinking.”
