A "qualitative" model based on PCT leads to the prediction
that the time to identify the category given the instance will be less than
the time to identify the instance given the category.
Actually, the prediction is the opposite: time to identify the category
given the instance will be greater than the time to identify the instance
given the category. This is because lower level references that select the
appropriate instance should be able to vary more quickly than the higher
order references that select the appropriate category. That's the
_qualitative_ model prediction.

I'm not clear what you mean by "instance" and "category", and how
they relate to this thread about labels and visual images being
invoked by each other. Could you give a couple of examples?

Visual image is to label as instance is to category. For example, consider
the visual image below:
/
One way to label this is as a "slash". This label is a category because it
refers to many different visual images which would be instances of "slash",
such as:
\
and
>
and
/
and
···
__
So each visual image is an instance of the category named by the label given
to the image. At least, that's the way I've been thinking of it.
