Predictive Modeling in Semantic Memory Search
Semantic Memory Search describes the cognitive psychological process of exploring internal representations to retrieve semantic knowledge, facts, and experience from memory. I am developing predictive models of memory search via Optimal Foraging theory. This work contributes to both theoretical findings in understanding human semantic memory and clinical informatics approaches for understanding pathological alterations to memory, as the result of neuropsychiatric disorders
