{ "pk": 26299, "title": "Semantic, Lexical, and Geographic Cues are used in Geographic Fluency", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "Semantic fluency tasks have increasingly been used to probethe structure of human memory, adopting methodologies fromthe ecological foraging literature to describe memory as a tra-jectory through semantic space. Clusters of semantically re-lated items are often produced together, and the transitions be-tween these clusters of semantically related items are consis-tent with theories of optimal foraging, where the search pro-cess exhibits a balance between exploration and exploitationbehaviors (Hills, Jones, & Todd, 2012). Here, we use a seman-tic fluency memory task in which subjects recall geographiclocations. For each pairwise transition, we measure tempo-ral, geographic, semantic, lexical, and phonetic distances. Ingeneral, the dimensions are loosely but reliably correlated witheach other. Segmentation of the retrieval sequence into patchessupports the notion that subjects strategically leave patches aswithin-patch resources diminish, but also suggests that sub-jects may shift their attention between different sources of in-formation, perhaps reflecting dynamically changing patch def-initions.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "Memory search; Semantic fluency; Optimal for-aging; Spatial search" } ], "section": "Papers", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/0cs2k9z0", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Janelle", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Szary", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Indiana University Bloomington", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Michael", "middle_name": "N.", "last_name": "Jones", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Indiana University Bloomington", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "2016-01-01T18:00:00Z", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/26299/galley/15935/download/" } ] }
