Study Notes
- "ISA" pathways represent category membership in semantic memory (e.g., a robin is a bird).
- Property pathways represent properties that concepts possess (e.g., a robin has the property of wings).
- Intersection Search determines if a statement is true or false by comparing the activation of related nodes in semantic memory.
- Semantic memory is organized based on semantic relatedness, with closely related concepts stored near each other.
- Feature List Model is a simplified semantic memory model consisting of lists of features defining and describing each concept.
- Feature Comparison is the process of retrieving information from multiple feature lists and determining commonalities to answer queries.
- The Feature List Model has been criticized for not adequately addressing the problem of property statements and typicality effects.
- Imagery plays a role in semantic memory, with concrete words having both verbal and visual knowledge advantages.
- Natural Categories have a complex internal structure and fuzzy boundaries.
- Priming in semantic memory is an automatic and implicit process that influences later processing.
- Context and ambiguity play a role in priming effects, with meaning resolution occurring through contextual inference or activating all possible meanings.
- Priming studies using the lexical decision task have shown that semantic priming is an automatic process.
- Context effects are priming effects that can influence ambiguity resolution.
- Polysemous words have multiple meanings, and meaning resolution occurs through either contextual inference or activating all possible meanings.
- Word frequency affects the number of meanings activated in ambiguity resolution.
- One-time activation of all meanings associated with a word in ambiguity resolution eventually reduces to a single meaning.
