| Chapter 8: Integration of Episodic Memory and Semantic Memory Propositions: sets of semantic nodes connected by labeled pathways that express the meaning of a sentence. Provide tangible way to understand language comprehension. Provide ways to use computer simulations. Explain why we have good content accuracy but not technical accuracy. Relation: action. Time Agent: person performing action. Location Recipient: receives action. Isa: is an instance of the category... Gernsbacher: during comprehension we build propositions in working memory (where surface structure is still available) and then store them away in LTM when they're complete => these propositions then become less available. Kintsch: propositions stand as chunks in memory; the more chunks, the more difficult it is to remember information. Ratcliff and McKoon: words stored together in proposition prime each other. |
