Semantic relatedness retroactively boosts memory and promotes memory interdependence across episodes [PDF]
eLife, 2022 Two fundamental issues in memory research concern when later experiences strengthen or weaken initial memories and when the two memories become linked or remain independent. A promising candidate for explaining these issues is semantic relatedness. Here,

Semantic Relatedness Emerges in Deep Convolutional Neural Networks Designed for Object Recognition [PDF]
Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2021 Human not only can effortlessly recognize objects, but also characterize object categories into semantic concepts with a nested hierarchical structure. One dominant view is that top-down conceptual guidance is necessary to form such hierarchy.

Creative connections: the neural correlates of semantic relatedness are associated with creativity [PDF]
Communications BiologyThe associative theory of creativity proposes that creative ideas result from connecting remotely related concepts in memory. Previous research found that higher creative individuals exhibit a more flexible organization of semantic memory, generate more ...

Opposing effects of semantic diversity in lexical and semantic relatedness decisions. [PDF]
J Exp Psychol Hum Percept Perform, 2015 Semantic ambiguity has often been divided into 2 forms: homonymy, referring to words with 2 unrelated interpretations (e.g., bark), and polysemy, referring to words associated with a number of varying but semantically linked uses (e.g., twist). Typically, polysemous words are thought of as having a fixed number of discrete definitions, or "senses ...

Semantic Sort: A Supervised Approach to Personalized Semantic Relatedness [PDF]
, 2013 We propose and study a novel supervised approach to learning statistical semantic relatedness models from subjectively annotated training examples. The proposed semantic model consists of parameterized co-occurrence statistics associated with textual ...

Distribution of visuo-attentional resources while reading multiple words. [PDF]
PLoS ONERecent studies have investigated the role of semantic processing in the parafovea using the Rapid Parallel Visual Presentation (RPVP) paradigm, which involves the simultaneous presentation of two words, one in the fovea (W1) and one in the parafovea (W2).
