Abstract
The aim of this chapter is to study the generality of the principles of the model, developed for the verification of hierarchical relations. The question is to what extent the RTs for semantic judgments on kinship terms are determined by the verification/falsification order and by the actualized structure of the domain. Terms of the nuclear family were used in the present experiments: father, mother, son, daughter,brother, and sister. On each trial in the experiments two kinship terms were presented to a subject. He had to judge these terms with respect to a specified criterion. In the first experiment the criterion is sex: the subject had to judge whether the two presented concepts were of the same sex. The criterion in the second experiment is the parent-child relation: the subject had to judge whether the two terms did express a parent-child relation.
