Despite considerable effort, predicting human similarity judgments and aspects of memory that rely on such judgments remains challenging. In this work, we collected a large set of human similarity judgments and compared the performance of semantic and visual deep neural networks in predicting them. We then examine the effectiveness of the computational similarity metrics in predicting false alarms in a recognition memory task. We show that general visual features best predict perceptual similarity while combined visual and semantic information better explain memory performance.
