Abstract: Abstract The current study explored whether novel words can be related to pre-existing words in semantic memory via thematic or taxonomic relations. The meaning of the novel words was learned from descriptive actions or perceptual… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/desc.70087
Abstract: ABSTRACT Toddlers better retain novel object‐label mappings from taxonomic categories they have more knowledge of. Separately, words for concepts with more perceptual features are learned earlier than words for concepts with fewer perceptual features. Because… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/09567976241256617
Abstract: Many experiences unfold predictably over time. Memory for these temporal regularities enables anticipation of events multiple steps into the future. Because temporally predictable events repeat over days, weeks, and years, we must maintain—and potentially transform—memories… read more here.
