Abstract

A model Is proposed for the representation of thematically lntegratable Information In semantic memory and a process for searching through this memory. We aS$Ume that related facts about an individual are not directly attached to the Individual node, but rather, are ' indirectly attached via a thematic sub-node. Thematic sub-nodes allow much · faster search of memory under certain conditions, but not others. We tested these predictions with human subjects and found :o:upport for these notions.
