The Structure of Semantic Memory: Category-based vs. Modality-based
A source of significant debate in psychology is the issue of how information is stored in semantic memory. The two primary frameworks are the Unitary Content Hypothesis, which holds that information is stored based on categories, and the Multiple Semantics Hypothesis, which holds that information is stored based on sensory modality. In a series of three experiments, I attempt to shed some light...
متن کاملCategory Structure and Recognition Memory
Current models of human category learning and subsequent recognition are either exemplar-based, rule-based, or some combination of both approaches. We present learning and recognition data that cannot be accounted for by current approaches. The data suggest that the degree to which an item is remembered is determined by the strength of the expectation it violates. In our study, expectations tak...
متن کاملDynamic category structure in spatial memory.
This study examines bias (constant error) in spatial memory in an effort to determine whether this bias is defined by a dynamic egocentric reference frame that moves with the observer or by an environmentally fixed reference frame. Participants learned the locations of six target objects around them in a room, were blindfolded, and then rotated themselves to face particular response headings. F...
متن کاملCross-cultural similarities in category structure
Categories, as mental structures, are more than simply sums of property frequencies. A number of recent studies have supported the view that the properties of categories may be organised along functional lines and possibly dependency structures more generally. The study presented here investigates whether earlier findings reflect something unique in the English language/ North American culture ...
متن کاملPreservation of memory for people in semantic memory disorder: Further category-specific semantic dissociation.
ML, a 70-year-old right-handed woman, presented with a history of semantic memory difficulties and a profound anomia affecting both proper nouns and common nouns following a left-hemisphere CVA some years earlier. She was found to show a striking contrast between her ability to make fine-grained semantic distinctions between objects and animals, on the one hand, and famous faces and names, on t...
