An integrated neural model of semantic memory, lexical retrieval and category formation, based on a distributed feature representation

Semantic Memory Redux: An Experimental Test of Hierarchical Category Representation.

Four experiments investigated the classic issue in semantic memory of whether people organize categorical information in hierarchies and use inference to retrieve information from them, as proposed by Collins & Quillian (1969). Past evidence has focused on RT to confirm sentences such as "All birds are animals" or "Canaries breathe." However, confounding variables such as familiarity and associ...

The Effect of Semantic Transfer on Iranian EFL Learners’ Lexical Representation and Processing

The Semantic Atlas: an Interactive Model of Lexical Representation

In this paper we describe two geometrical models of meaning representation, the Semantic Atlas (SA) and the Automatic Contexonym Organizing Model (ACOM). The SA provides maps of meaning generated through correspondence factor analysis. The models can handle different types of word relations: synonymy in the SA and co-occurrence in ACOM. Their originality relies on an artifact called 'cliques' a...

Image Retrieval System Based on Feature Computation – an Integrated Approach

The idea proposed in this paper utilizes an efficient image retrieval system that is based on computation and combination of grey level, shape and texture features. The proposed system calculates various grey level features which are used to extract attributes from an input image. Grey Level Co-occurrence Matrix is used to compute the texture feature of a given image while the Shape feature fin...

lexical decomposition awareness and its effect on delayed receptive and productive recognition and recall of vocabulary knowledge of morphologically complex english words: an iranian efl context

abstract lexical knowledge of complex english words is an important part of language skills and crucial for fluent language use (nation, 2001). the present study, thus, was an attempt to assess the role of morphological decomposition awareness as a vocabulary learning strategy on learners’ productive and receptive recall and recognition of complex english words. so 90 sophomores (female and ma...
