“semantic network: Chunks of information connected in networks by associated meanings. Activation of any one chunk automatically ‘readies’ others that are closely associated with it, with lessening degrees of activation spreading from one network to another. Some scientists believe the semantic network may be the main structural component of long-term memory.”
