Showing papers on "Semantic memory published in 1969"


Journal ArticleDOI
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.

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that concrete imagery functions primarily as a parallel processing system, whereas the verbal symbolic system is specialized for sequential processing, and that performance in non-sequential memory tasks would accordingly vary directly with the availability of both memor
Abstract: Hypothesized (1) that concrete (visual) imagery functions primarily as a parallel processing system, whereas the verbal symbolic system is specialized for sequential processing; and (2) that performance in nonsequential memory tasks would accordingly vary directly with the availability of both memor

TL;DR: A general data structure for a semantic memory is presented, and a definition of "analogy" between items of semantic information is given, and an inductive process in which general laws are formulated and verified on the basis of observations of individual cases is constructed.
Abstract: In this paper w. present a general data structure for a semantic memory, and we give a definition of "analogy" between items of semantic information. We then construct an inductive process in which general laws are formulated and verified on the basis of observations of individual cases.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered the evidence for semantic processing in STM and concluded that there is sufficient evidence of semantic processing for STM to make it impossible to dichotomize between long and short-term memory on the basis of semantic coding being exclusively employed by LSTM.
Abstract: This paper considers the evidence for semantic processing in STM. It is concluded that there is sufficient evidence of semantic processing in STM to make it impossible to dichotomize between long- and short-term memory on the basis of semantic coding being exclusively employed by long-term memory.
