node
|
a point/location in the LTM representation of knowledge; a concept or its representation in memory
|
|
|
modularity
|
a theoretical perspective in which different abilities, characteristics, types of cognitive processes, and so forth are theorized to be represented in separate components/modules in memory
|
|
|

connectionism

|
semantic relatedness effect
|
in semantic memory tasks, reaction time is sped up or judgments are made easier when the concepts are close together in semantic distance. when they are more closely related. Effect is reversed when the comparison is false.
|
|
|
spreading activation
|
the commonly assumed theoretical process by which LTM knowledge is accessed and retrieved. Some form of mental excitation/activation is believed to be passed/spread along the pathways that connect concepts in a memory network.
