Age differences in semantic network structure: Acquiring knowledge shapes semantic memory. [PDF]

Psychol Aging, 2023
Computational research suggests that semantic memory, operationalized as semantic memory networks, undergoes age-related changes. Previous work suggests that concepts in older adults' semantic memory networks are more separated, more segregated, and less

Semantic Memory and the Hippocampus: Revisiting, Reaffirming, and Extending the Reach of Their Critical Relationship

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2020
Since Tulving proposed a distinction in memory between semantic and episodic memory, considerable effort has been directed towards understanding their similar and unique features.

An investigation of the cognitive and neural correlates of semantic memory search related to creative ability. [PDF]

Commun Biol, 2022
Creative ideas likely result from searching and combining semantic memory knowledge, yet the mechanisms acting on memory to yield creative ideas remain unclear.

Brain connectivity-based prediction of real-life creativity is mediated by semantic memory structure. [PDF]

Sci Adv, 2022
Associative theories of creativity argue that creative cognition involves the abilities to generate remote associations and make useful connections between unrelated concepts in one’s semantic memory.

Education shapes the structure of semantic memory and impacts creative thinking. [PDF]

NPJ Sci Learn, 2021
Education is central to the acquisition of knowledge, such as when children learn new concepts. It is unknown, however, whether educational differences impact not only what concepts children learn, but how those concepts come to be represented in ...

Revealing the Role of Divergent Thinking and Fluid Intelligence in Children’s Semantic Memory Organization [PDF]

Journal of Intelligence, 2020
The current theories suggest the fundamental role of semantic memory in creativity, mediating bottom-up (divergent thinking) and top-down (fluid intelligence) cognitive processes.

The role of GABA in semantic memory and its neuroplasticity [PDF]

eLife
A fundamental challenge in neuroscience is understanding neural functioning and plasticity of the brain. The anterior temporal lobe (ATL) is a hub for semantic memory, which generates coherent conceptual representations.

Measuring semantic memory using associative and dissociative retrieval tasks [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science
Recent theoretical advances highlighted the need for novel means of assessing semantic cognition. Here, we introduce the associative-dissociative retrieval task (ADT), positing a novel way to test inhibitory control over semantic memory retrieval by ...
