Crossley, Scott; Wan, Qian; Allen, Laura; McNamara, Danielle – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2023
Synthesis writing is widely taught across domains and serves as an important means of assessing writing ability, text comprehension, and content learning. Synthesis writing differs from other types of writing in terms of both cognitive and task demands because it requires writers to integrate information across source materials. However, little is…

Shannon, George John – ProQuest LLC, 2017
This research improves the precision of information extraction from free-form text via the use of cognitive-based approaches to natural language processing (NLP). Cognitive-based approaches are an important, and relatively new, area of research in NLP and search, as well as linguistics. Cognitive approaches enable significant improvements in both…

Brocher, Andreas – ProQuest LLC, 2013
Because many words of a language have more than one meaning, readers regularly need to disambiguate words during sentence comprehension. Using priming, eye-tracking, and event-related brain potentials, this thesis tested whether readers differently disambiguate words with semantically related meanings like "wire" and "cone,"…

Glidden, Laraine Masters; Mar, Harvey H. – 1977
The availability of semantic information in storage and the accessibility of that information for retrieval was studied with 40 retarded and 40 nonretarded adolescents. In Experiment I, Ss were required to retrieve information from semantic categories, as well as judge whether specific items were members of a given category. Results showed that…

Loftus, Elizabeth F.; Grober, Ellen H. – Developmental Psychology, 1973
This study is consistent with a model of semantic memory that assumes that the memory store is organized primarily into noun categories, and that the process of retrieving information from this store consists of entering the appropriate category as a first step. (Authors)

Brown, Alan S.; Zoccoli, Sandy L.; Leahy, Matthew M. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2005
In 3 experiments the authors examined changes in successive exemplar generation percentages within categories defined semantically (e.g., fruit-P, fruit-A, fruit-M) and by 1st letter (e.g., insect-C, sport-C, car-C), with a mixed control condition (e.g., fruit-P, insect-C, disease-M). Retrieval success declined across 12 successive items in both…

Roelofs, Ardi – Language and Cognitive Processes, 2007
Simple name-retrieval models of spoken word planning (Bloem & La Heij, 2003; Starreveld & La Heij, 1996) maintain (1) that there are two levels in word planning, a conceptual and a lexical phonological level, and (2) that planning a word in both object naming and oral reading involves the selection of a lexical phonological representation.…

Prawat, Richard S.; Kerasotes, Dean – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1979
The semantic memory search process was examined in second graders (N=30) under an induced imagery and a control condition. (MP)

Ingwersen, Peter – Journal of Documentation, 1996
Discusses the basic elements of a global cognitive theory for information retrieval (IR) interaction from a cognitive point of view. Within this framework are outlined the principles underlying the concept of polyrepresentation applied simultaneously to the user's cognitive space and the information space of IR systems. Contains 95 references.…

Hjorland, Birger – Journal of Documentation, 1998
Analyzes the theoretical and the epistemological assumptions of information science. Topics include users and cognition; subject analysis; methods of classification; composition, semantics, and retrieval; the meaning of information; the typology of documents; information selection and research evaluation; and information specialists and…

Brien, Robert – Programmed Learning and Educational Technology, 1983
Reviews concepts proposed by researchers in linguistics, psychology, philosophy, and artificial intelligence, who have applied their knowledge and skills to the study of human information processing--i.e., memory content, storage, encoding, and retrieval. Guidelines derived from theory for use by instructional designers and subject specialists in…

Brooks, Terrence A. – Proceedings of the ASIS Annual Meeting, 1998
Presents the Semantic Distance Model (SDM) of Relevance Assessment, a cognitive model of the relationship between semantic distance and relevance assessment. Discusses premises of the model such as the subjective nature of information and the metaphor of semantic distance. Empirical results illustrate the effects of semantic distance and semantic…

Norman, Donald A. – 1972
An examination of the nature of memory reveals that the representation of knowledge cannot be separated from the uses of knowledge. The answering of questions is not a simple retrieval and response of stored information; rather the process is embedded in a general structural framework containing knowledge of the questioner, the question, and the…

Jastrzembski, James E.; Stanners, Robert F. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1975
A task required subjects to make a word-nonword decision to visually presented items--words with a high or low number of meanings or lawful nonwords. Words with several meanings produced shorter decision times, indicating that words with multiple meanings have multiple memory entries. (CHK)
