The relation between semantic memory structure, associative abilities, and verbal and figural creativity
Research has independently highlighted the roles of semantic memory and associative
abilities in creative thinking. However, it remains unclear how these two capacities relate to …

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 …
