    "title": "Modeling Property Intercorrelations in Conceptual Memory",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Behavioral experiments have demonstrated that people\nencode knowledge of correlations among semantic prop-\nerties of entities and that this knowledge influences per-\nformance on semantic tasks (McRae, 1992; McRae, de Sa,\n& Seidenberg, 1993). Independently, in connectionist the-\nory, it has been claimed that relationships among seman-\ntic properties may provide structure that is required for\nthe relatively arbitrary mapping from word form to word\nmeaning (Hinton&Shallice, 1991). W e explored these is-\nsues by implementing a modified Hopfield network (1982,\n1984) to simulate the computation from word form to\nmeaning. The model was used as a vehicle for developing\nexplanations for the role played by correlated properties in\ndetermining short interval semantic priming effects and in\ndetermining the ease with which a property is verified as\npart of a concept. Simulations of the priming and property\nverification experiments of McRae (1992) are reported. It\nis concluded that correlations among properties encoded\nin conceptual memory play a key role in the dynamics of\nthe computation of word meaning. Furthermore, a model\nin which property intercorrelations are central to forming\nbasins of attraction corresponding to concepts may pro-\nvide important insights into lexical memory.",
