Structure in Semantic Memory: A Probabilistic Approach Using a Continuous Response Task.

Millsap, Roger E.; Meredith, William

Psychometrika, v52 n1 p19-41 Mar 1987

The slower progress of semantic memory research is attributed to the difficulties involved in testing the relevant theories. This paper proposes a model for testing such theories using the Continuous Response (CR) task. The model establishes a link between the rate of recall and the semantic relationships among the category items. (JAZ)
