Cognitive Economy in Semantic Memory
Conrad, Carol
Journal of Experimental Psychology, 92, 2, 149-55, Feb 72
This paper suggests that although there is reasonable evidence to support that portion of the Collins-Quillian theory of semantic memory which hypothesizes that words are ordered hierarchically in memory, there is little evidence in support of their hypothesis of cognitive economy of storage in memory.
