PSYCH 3312 Lecture Notes - Lecture 25: Semantic Network, Temporal Lobe, Adaptive Control
Document Summary
Let"s move from how we categorize an instance into a category, & talk about how we use concepts. 6) hierarchical semantic network (collins & quillian - c & q) Collins & quillian: 1st model of semantic memory. Each concept is represented by a node in memory. Ex) all birds fly, so attach fly to bird" and not just robin". Faster for info closer together (fewer links to traverse in mind) Level 0 - a canary can sing . Level 1 - a canary can fly . Level 2 - a canary has skin . 10) evidence to support the c & q model. 11) problems w/ c & q"s semantic nets. The domain of living things" is a unique taxonomy. Verification time depends on other factors (typicality, frequency) A canary is a bird verifies faster than a penguin is a bird . Hierarchical effects often go away when these factors are included:
