    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "The organization of knowledge according to relations between\nconcepts is critically involved in many cognitive processes,\nincluding memory and reasoning. However, the role of\nlearning in shaping knowledge organization has received little\ndirect investigation. Therefore, the present study investigated\nwhether informal learning experiences can drive rapid,\nsubstantial changes in knowledge organization in children by\nmeasuring the effects of a week-long Zoo summer camp versus\na control camp on the degree to which 4- to 9-year-old\nchildren’s knowledge about animals was organized according\nto taxonomic relations. Although taxonomic organization did\nnot differ at pre-test, only Zoo camp children showed increases\nin taxonomic organization at post-test. These findings provide\nnovel evidence that informal, real-life learning experiences can\ndrive rapid knowledge organization change.",
