1.
Chang M, Johns B, Brainerd C
Psychol Rev
. 2025 Feb;
PMID: 40014530
Previous research suggests that the MINERVA2 model can capture basic Deese/Roediger/McDermott (DRM) false recognition findings with either randomized representations or distributional semantic representations. In the current article, we extended this...

Johns B
Can J Exp Psychol
. 2024 Aug;
78(3):163-173.
PMID: 39207434
Experiential theories of cognition propose that the external environment shapes cognitive processing, shifting emphasis from internal mechanisms to the learning of environmental structure. Computational modelling, particularly distributional models of lexical...

Johns B
Cogn Sci
. 2024 Feb;
48(2):e13413.
PMID: 38402448
Distributional models of lexical semantics are capable of acquiring sophisticated representations of word meanings. The main theoretical insight provided by these models is that they demonstrate the systematic connection between...

Lundin N, Brown J, Johns B, Jones M, Purcell J, Hetrick W, et al.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
. 2023 Oct;
120(42):e2312462120.
PMID: 37824523
Humans may retrieve words from memory by exploring and exploiting in "semantic space" similar to how nonhuman animals forage for resources in physical space. This has been studied using the...

Chang M, Jones M, Johns B
J Exp Psychol Gen
. 2023 Jun;
152(6):1814-1823.
PMID: 37307352
Word frequency (WF) is a strong predictor of lexical behavior. However, much research has shown that measures of contextual and semantic diversity offer a better account of lexical behaviors than...

Can J Exp Psychol
. 2023 Apr;
77(3):185-201.
PMID: 37036686
A classic goal in cognitive modelling is the integration of process and representation to form complete theories of human cognition (Estes, 1955). This goal is best encapsulated by the seminal...

Q J Exp Psychol (Hove)
. 2022 Dec;
76(9):2164-2182.
PMID: 36458499
The field of psycholinguistics has recently questioned the primacy of word frequency (WF) in influencing word recognition and production, instead focusing on the importance of a word's contextual diversity (CD)....

Senaldi M, Titone D, Johns B
Can J Exp Psychol
. 2022 Feb;
76(2):87-98.
PMID: 35143239
Corpus-based models of lexical strength have called into question the role of word frequency as an organizing principle of the lexicon, revealing that contextual and semantic diversity measures provide a...

Johns B
Mem Cognit
. 2021 Nov;
50(5):1013-1032.
PMID: 34811640
Contextual diversity modifies word frequency by ignoring the repetition of words in context (Adelman, Brown, & Quesada, 2006, Psychological Science, 17(9), 814-823). Semantic diversity modifies contextual diversity by taking into...

PMID: 34666227
Distributional models of lexical semantics have proven to be powerful accounts of how word meanings are acquired from the natural language environment (Günther, Rinaldi, & Marelli, 2019; Kumar, 2020). Standard...
