TLDR
This article measured the reaction time (RT) of true-false decisions about two kinds of logical assertions while varying the set relation and sizes of the semantic categories S and P, and concluded that at least two types of information about semantic categories, names of categories they intersect and representations of their attributes, are stored in memory.About:

Semantic network mapping of religious material: testing multi-agent computer models of social theories against real-world data
TL;DR: In this example, the output of an agent-based model of religious behavior is compared against real-world religious sermons and texts using semantic network analysis and finds that most religious materials exhibit unique scale-free small-world properties and that a concept’s centrality in a religious schema best predicts its frequency of presentation.

Process and Structure in Children's Memory
TL;DR: In this paper, a selective overview of memory development, focusing on the importance of developmental changes in the implementation of critical mnemonic strategies and techniques is presented, and the salient aspects of children's memory in the context of two alternate frameworks that have been used to characterize adult memory, namely, the multistore model and the levels-of-processing approach.

The influence of instructions on feature selection in semantic memory
TL;DR: In two experiments, subjects verified 15 bird and 15 tool names on a list as coming under either the categorybird/tool (L2 verification) or the categoryanimate/inanimate (L4 verification).

Question-answering by a semantic network of parallel automata
Joseph R. Fiksel,Gordon H. Bower +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the network of automata can determine the existence of such a path using only local computation, meaning that each automaton communicates only with its immediate neighbors in the network.

High-Speed Scanning in Human Memory
TL;DR: When subjects judge whether a test symbol is contained in a short memorized sequence of symbols, their mean reaction-time increases linearly with the length of the sequence, implying the existence of an internal serial-comparison process.

The discovery of processing stages: Extensions of Donders' method
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that stage-durations may be additive without being stochastically independent, a result that is relevant to the formulation of mathematical models of RT.

Retrieval time from semantic memory
Allan Collins,M. Ross Quillian +1 more
TL;DR: The results of a true-false reaction-time task were found to support the hypothesis about memory organization that a canary is a bird and birds can fly.

Retrieval time from semantic memory
Allan Collins,M. Ross Quillian +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, two possible organizations of long-term memory were proposed: the first one is to store only the generalization that birds can fly, and the second is to infer that a canary is a bird from the stored information that canary can fly.
