What is the basis of our ability to assign meanings to words or to
objects? Such questions have, until recently, been regarded as
lying within the province of philosophy and linguistics rather than
psychology. However, recent advances in psychology and
neuropsychology have led to the development of a scientific
approach to analysing the cognitive bases of semantic knowledge and
semantic representations. Indeed, theory and data on the
organisation and structure of semantic knowledge have now become
central and hotly debated topics in contemporary psychology. This
special issue of Memory brings together a series of papers from
established laboratories that are at the forefront of semantic
memory research. The collection includes papers presenting
theoretical overviews of the field as well as papers containing new
experimental findings. A variety of approaches to the problems of
analysing semantic knowledge and semantic representations are
included in this volume. For example, experimental studies of
normal subjects are included together with neuropsychological
investigations of patients with impaired semantic memory and
computational models of the representation of knowledge in
normality and disease. This collection will therefore be essential
reading for researchers and others who are interested in memory
function. It will also be of interest to cognitive scientists,
linguists, philosophers and others who have puzzled over the many
complex and central questions that probe the roots of our ability
to understand meaning.
