{"pk":25769,"title":"Memory Foraging in a Spatial Domain","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Search is a ubiquitous behavior for a variety of species. Converging\nevidence from several domains suggests that there may\nbe common principles that apply to search processes regardless\nof the species, or contexts, in which they are observed.\nTheories of cognitive or memory search have been motivated\nby findings in the animal foraging literature, and have recently\nbeen the subject of increased attention (see Hills et al., 2015;\nHills, Jones, & Todd, 2012, for example). This approach has\nbeen quite successful in terms of applying the principles of\nspatial search to cognitive search, but here we add additional\njustification by grounding cognitive search in spatial measures.\nWe asked subjects to perform a semantic fluency task, recalling\nitems from the category of cities in California, so we could\nuse physical, geographic coordinates to characterize cognitive\nsearch. Our findings support the notion that cognitive search is\nsimilar to spatial search.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"Spatial Cognition; Spatial Search; Cognitive\nSearch; Memory; Memory Search; Categorical Recall; Collaborative\nRecall; Collaborative Dynamics"}],"section":"Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8zj8h7tf","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Janelle","middle_name":"","last_name":"Szary","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of California, Merced","department":""},{"first_name":"Chris","middle_name":"","last_name":"Kello","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of California, Merced","department":""},{"first_name":"Rick","middle_name":"","last_name":"Dale","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of California, Merced","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2015-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/25769/galley/15393/download/"}]}
