The area of concern to Dr. Wietske Noordman~Vonk has been variously
seen as an aspect of long-term memory [F. I], secondary memory [F.
2], memory without record [F. 3], and semantic memory [F. 4J, the
latter term being the one pre ferred by Dr. Noordman-Vonk herself.
This proliferation of terminology is not an entirely trivial
matter, for although the expressions clearly overlap in range, they
do draw attention to different features of the phenomena under
consideration. The work reported here is concerned with the form of
representation and manipulation of our knowledge that, for example,
a dog is an animal, or that mothers and daughters are parents and
children. To put it more generally, the experiments attempt to
elucidate the psychological processes involved in the~emantics of
class-inclusion and, most importantly, to extend the explanatory
principles there invoked to a new domain, that of kinship
relations. Clearly, the connections between "ant" and "insect", or
"flower" and "plant" have been known to us - as adults - for some
considerable period of time; in the absence of brain injury or
degeneration we are unlikely to "forget" that fathers and sons are
kin of the same sex. We may therefor- pretheoretically -
distinguish between retrieval of such knowledge and. re trieval of
a rapidly fading sequence of random numbers that we are asked to
recall after a single presentation. It is in this sense that the
current work is concerned with long-term and not short-term memory.
