[HTML][HTML] Quantifying flexibility in thought: The resiliency of semantic networks differs across the lifespan
Older adults tend to have a broader vocabulary compared to younger adults–indicating a
richer storage of semantic knowledge–but their retrieval abilities decline with age. Recent …

The associative structure of language: Contextual diversity in early word learning
Previous studies demonstrated that statistical properties of adult generated free associates
predict the order of early noun learning. We investigate an explanation for this phenomenon …

Small worlds and semantic network growth in typical and late talkers
Network analysis has demonstrated that systems ranging from social networks to electric
power grids often involve a small world structure-with local clustering but global ac cess …

Age differences in semantic network structure: Acquiring knowledge shapes semantic memory.
Computational research suggests that semantic memory, operationalized as semantic
memory networks, undergoes age-related changes. Previous work suggests that concepts in …

Is the mind a network? Maps, vehicles, and skyhooks in cognitive network science
Cognitive researchers often carve cognition up into structures and processes. Cognitive
processes operate on structures, like vehicles driving over a map. Language alongside …

Quantifying the structure of free association networks across the life span.
We investigate how the mental lexicon changes over the life span using free association
data from over 8,000 individuals, ranging from 10 to 84 years of age, with more than 400 cue …

Structure and flexibility: Investigating the relation between the structure of the mental lexicon, fluid intelligence, and creative achievement.
Creativity is mainly viewed by current theories as either a bottom-up or top-down cognitive
process. However, a growing body of research indicates that both processes contribute to …
