Property attributes being stored efficiently at only the most general level describes what concept?

The hierarchical network model predicts that reaction times in sentence verification tasks are a function of hierarchical levels. Based on this, what prediction could we make about the response time of "a gorilla is a mammal" compared to a "gorilla is an animal"?

Conrad (1972) argued that reaction time data can be better explained by frequency of co-occurrence. Based on this what would we predict about the following 2 sentences?

A fish swims.
Fish have a dorsal fin.

The spreading activation model is similar to the hierarchical network model but is able to explain the lack of hierarchical effect, the typicality effect and semantic priming. What is the main difference between the models?

The 2 stage decision process of the feature comparison model claims that we first compare ( all, defining, characteristic ) features and if that fails then stage 2 is to compare ( defining, characteristic, all ) features.
