The judgment between an apple and a pear versus a toothpick and an oar involves a comparison of two objects that are similar in shape but have different roundness. This illustrates the semantic congruity effect, which is the influence of the similarity between two stimuli on the judgment of a specific attribute. In this case, the judgment of roundness is influenced by the semantic similarity between the objects being compared.
