Cognitive Psychology: Organization of human semantic memory

Does your performance support the spreading activation model? Explain why or why not.

Discuss how the strength of the links may have affected your performance.

Answer 1

Spreading activation model does support the performance because the performance is based on how neurons act of the certain tasks.

For eg: Suppose an individual who is required to lift weights fails to use the neurons capable of activation of some technique which is not a part of his regular learning, he may miss the opportunity.

Similarly, more the neurons associated increases the intensity of the work being done that is the weights being lifted because it spreads the pressure to more and more strengths.

Lesser the neurons lesser the strength.

Therefore yes the performance technique helps to enhance the performance.
