SEMANTIC MEMORY AND OPTIMAL FORAGING 1 Running head: SEMANTIC MEMORY AND OPTIMAL FORAGING Optimal Foraging in Semantic Memory
Do humans search in memory using dynamic local-to-global search strategies similar to those that animals use to forage between patches in space? If so, do their dynamic memory search policies correspond to optimal foraging strategies seen for spatial foraging? Results from a number of fields suggest these possibilities, including the shared structure of the search problems—searching in patchy e...

متن کاملThe Role of Semantic Clustering in Optimal Memory Foraging
Recent studies of semantic memory have investigated two theories of optimal search adopted from the animal foraging literature: Lévy flights and marginal value theorem. Each theory makes different simplifying assumptions and addresses different findings in search behaviors. In this study, an experiment is conducted to test whether clustering in semantic memory may play a role in evidence for bo...
متن کاملForaging in Semantic Fields: How We Search Through Memory
When searching for concepts in memory--as in the verbal fluency task of naming all the animals one can think of--people appear to explore internal mental representations in much the same way that animals forage in physical space: searching locally within patches of information before transitioning globally between patches. However, the definition of the patches being searched in mental space is...
