Semantic Memory Redux: An Experimental Test of Hierarchical Category Representation.
Four experiments investigated the classic issue in semantic memory of whether people organize categorical information in hierarchies and use inference to retrieve information from them, as proposed by Collins & Quillian (1969). Past evidence has focused on RT to confirm sentences such as "All birds are animals" or "Canaries breathe." However, confounding variables such as familiarity and associ...
متن کاملTest Stimulus Representation and Experimental Context Effects in Memory Scanning
The 5s performed a memory-scanning task in which they indicated whether or not a given test stimulus (letter or picture) matched one of a previously memorized set of letters. The test stimuli presented during a given session were either exclusively letters (a letter session), exclusively pictures (a picture session), or a random sequence of both (a mixed session). Reactiontime functions relatin...
متن کاملCategorization and Memory: Representation of Category Information Increases Memory Intrusions
False recognition of verbal information has long been established with word lists. Current research examines the phenomenon of false recognition with pictorial stimuli. Experiment 1 demonstrated that similar to word-lists, pictorially presented information elicits memory intrusions, and that rates of intrusions differ across stimuli sets. Experiment 2 investigated the effects of focusing on cat...
متن کاملAn Optimal Resolution Sensitive Pyramid Representation for Hierarchical Memory Models
In this paper we propose and analyze a new hierarchical direct access data structure, namely the up-down pyramid, for storing and processing efficiently large sets of 2-dimensional data. We use as performance measure the cost of storage accesses on a hierrchical memory model with different access cost functions of theoretical and practical significance. We analyze, for our structure, the time c...
متن کاملOn the Semantic Representation and Extraction of Complex Category Descriptors
Natural language descriptors used for categorizations are present from folksonomies to ontologies. While some descriptors are composed of simple expressions, other descriptors have complex compositional patterns (e.g. ‘French Senators Of The Second Empire’, ‘Churches Destroyed In The Great Fire Of London And Not Rebuilt’). As conceptual models get more complex and decentralized, more content is...
