Your task in this experiment will involve judging the relatedness
of pairs of concepts.  In making these types of judgements, there
are several ways to think about the items being judged.  For instance,
two concepts might be related because they share common features or
because they frequently occur together.  While this kind of detailed
analysis is possible, our concern is to obtain your initial impression
of "overall relatedness."   Therefore, please base your ratings on your
first impression of relatedness.

Each pair of concepts will be presented on the screen along with a
"relatedness" scale.  You are to indicate your judgement of relatedness
for each pair by pressing a key on the keyboard.  If you feel that the
concepts are not related at all press "1" on the keyboard.  If you feel
the concepts are highly related you would press an "8" or a "9".  You
can think of these numbers as points along a "relatedness" scale, with
higher numbers representing greater relatedness.  Upon responding, a bar
marker will move directly above the number you pressed.  If you wish to
change your response, simply press another number.  When you are satisfied
with the rating you have given, press the SPACE BAR to enter your response.
Following this, the next pair of items to be rated will be displayed.

Several pairs of concepts will be shown.  If at any time you feel like
taking a break tell the experimenter you are doing so and leave the machine
running with the disk in it.

Now the complete list of concepts will be presented.  This is done to give
you a general idea of the scope of the concepts you will be rating.
