The Semantic Richness of Abstract Concepts [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2012 We contrasted the predictive power of three measures of semantic richness—number of features (NF), contextual dispersion (CD), and a novel measure of number of semantic neighbors (NSN)—for a large set of concrete and abstract concepts on lexical decision

Effects of semantic richness on lexical processing in monolinguals and bilinguals [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2016 The effect of number of senses (NoS), a measure of semantic richness, was examined in monolingual English speakers (n=17) and bilingual speakers of English and French (n=18).

ERP measures of semantic richness: The case of multiple senses [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2013 Semantic richness refers to the amount of semantic information that a lexical item possesses. An important measure of semantic richness is the number of related senses that a word has (e.g., TABLE meaning a piece of furniture, a table of contents, to lay

Semantic Richness Effects in Syntactic Classification: The Role of Feedback [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2016 Words with richer semantic representations are recognized faster across a range of lexical processing tasks. The most influential account of this finding is based on the idea that semantic richness effects are mediated by feedback from semantic-level to ...

Is More Always Better for Verbs? Semantic Richness Effects and Verb Meaning [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2016 We examined how several semantic richness variables contribute to verb meaning, across a number of tasks. Because verbs can vary in tense, and the manner in which tense is coded (i.e., regularity), we also examined how these factors moderated the effects

The time course of semantic richness effects in visual word recognition [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2012 The richness of semantic representations associated with individual words has emerged as an important variable in reading. In the present study we contrasted different measures of semantic richness and explored the time course of their influences during ...

An Abundance of Riches: Cross-Task Comparisons of Semantic Richness Effects In Visual Word Recognition [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2012 There is considerable evidence (e.g., Pexman, Hargreaves, Siakaluk, Bodner, & Pope, 2008) that semantically rich words, which are associated with relatively more semantic information, are recognized faster across different lexical processing tasks ...

Semantic Accessibility Is Associated with Reduced Experience-Induced Heuristic Fixation in Creative Problem Solving [PDF]
Journal of IntelligenceCreative problem solving often fails because people rely on heuristic responses reinforced by prior experience. According to the default–interventionist account, analytic intervention can override these heuristic defaults only when the semantic system ...
