Penguins can’t fly: how concept typicality affects category verification and verbal memory recognition

Contents: ABSTRACT:
The categorical structure of semantic knowledge provides us a system to organize the world, by establishing similarities and differences among concepts. For a given category (e.g. bird), some exemplars share many features and are therefore typical members of that category (e.g. sparrow), while others are more atypical as they present more distinctive features (e.g. penguin). While the impact of concept typicality on semantic processing has been extensively studied, it is less clear how this variable affects verbal memory retrieval of those concepts. It is well established that processing the meaning of words often aids episodic memory. However, it remains unknown how the categorical structure of concepts may support recognition memory for those concepts. We conducted a behavioral study to explore how two semantic variables – concept typicality and congruency – influence verbal episodic retrieval in healthy young adults. During encoding, 32 participants performed a category verification task, in which a category and an exemplar were presented and participants had to
decide if the exemplar belonged to the category. We manipulated concept typicality such that the exemplar was either a typical (e.g. bird-SPARROW) or an atypical member of the category (e.g. bird-PENGUIN). Category congruency was also manipulated, with the exemplar being presented either with the correct category or with a different category (e.g. bird-SUBMARINE). Subsequently, participants performed an item recognition task, in which they saw exemplars presented before and new ones, and had to decide if the item was old or new, along with a Remember/Know judgment for old decisions. As expected, category verification was faster and more accurate for typical than atypical concepts. This concept typicality effect occurred only when the exemplar belonged to the category (i.e. congruent condition). Interestingly, we found the inverse pattern during item recognition, with better item memory and more Remember responses for atypical than typical exemplars, independently of category congruency. There was also a main effect of category congruency such
that items encoded with their own category were better recognized and elicited more Remember responses than items encoded with different categories. Together, these results suggest that categorical structure improves verbal episodic recognition in two ways. First, the superior memory for atypical exemplars suggests that processing the unique features of those items (e.g. a penguin is a bird that can’t fly) results in richer memory traces, as these items carry more distinctive semantic characteristics that are diagnostic in item recognition. Second, processing information that is congruent with the hierarchical structure of semantic memory also promotes episodic retrieval. We propose that the processing of distinctive
categorical information is highly diagnostic during item recognition. A focus on semantic distinctiveness is a promising approach to characterize the interplay between semantic and episodic processing in verbal memory.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
The lexical-semantic properties of words have a significant effect on the ability to later retrieve those words. For example, processing the meaning of words, relative to processing their perceptual features, facilitates recognition. Likewise, concepts with more unique lexical-semantic features (e.g. low-frequency words) are generally better remembered than concepts with less unique features (e.g. high frequency words). Neuroimaging studies often implicate the left lateral prefrontal cortex in verbal memory retrieval. It has been argued that this activation reflects controlled semantic processing that facilitates later recognition. Yet, it remains unclear what aspects of semantic processing predict verbal memory performance and how it relates with prefrontal activation patterns. We addressed these questions in an fMRI paradigm using a verbal episodic recognition task, in which we manipulated the semantic distinctiveness of conceptual features. During encoding, participants performed a category verification task, in which they had to decide whether or not an exemplar belonged to a given category. Critically, exemplars were either typical members of a category such that they
shared many features with other members and were therefore semantically non-distinct (e.g. mammal-LION) or were atypical members of the category, bearing more unique and distinctive features (e.g. mammal-SEAL). Subsequently, participants were presented with the same exemplars among new ones, which were also typical or atypical, and had to decide whether or not the item had been presented before. Behaviorally, the recognition of atypical exemplars was more accurate than recognition of typical items. At a neural level, old items that were atypical of the category (relative to new atypical items) showed increased activation in left lateral prefrontal cortex, associated with controlled semantic elaboration, as well as bilateral middle temporal cortex, a region consistently linked to accessing semantic information.
Additionally, there was significant activation in occipitalparietal regions, including left inferior parietal lobe, left inferior occipital and bilateral angular gyrus, which may be associated with the integration of features. In contrast, old concepts that were typical members of the category (relative to new typical items) only showed occipital-parietal and anterior medial frontal activation, which might be related to source monitoring. Together, these findings reveal that processing atypical concepts improved recognition. This facilitation was accompanied by the recruitment of a left fronto-temporal network. We suggest that participants use the distinctive semantic features of atypical concepts as a cue that the concept
had been presented before. Moreover, we propose that the fronto-temporal activation is critical during verbal recognition tasks because it enables retrieval of semantic attributes that are indicative of the previously presented concepts.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
For a given category (e.g., bird), some items share many features and are therefore typical members of that category (e.g., robin), while others are more atypical as they present more distinctive features (e.g., penguin). While the impact of concept typicality on semantic performance is well established, it remains unclear how this dimension affects episodic abilities. We combined evidence from concept typicality and episodic memory literatures to investigate how the processing of distinctive features of items modulates episodic remembering. In a behavioral study, participants carried out a category verification task followed by an item recognition task and a remember/know judgment. In the category verification task, item typicality (typical vs. atypical) was manipulated in both inclusion (e.g., bird-robin) and exclusion conditions (e.g., bird-coat). It was significantly easier to categorize typical than atypical items, but only in the inclusion condition. Interestingly, during item retrieval, we found a different pattern, with an overall increase in recognition for atypical than for typical items. This advantage was also accompanied by an increase in “remember” relative to “know” responses. We propose that distinctive information is highly diagnostic during item recognition. A focus on concept typicality is a promising approach to characterize the interplay between semantic and episodic memory

Superordinate and domain category structure: evidence from typicality ratings
Publication year: 2015

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Concept typicality demonstrates the graded nature of category membership. At the most general (domain) level, however, typicality has not been studied. The domain level plays a critical role in theoretical accounts of the neurological implementation of semantic categories, with studies being divided along the correct domain classification: living/nonliving vs. animate/inanimate. We collected typicality ratings to further understand: (1) the relation between categorization at the domain and superordinate levels and (2) the internal organization of the domain level. Ten superordinate categories across 280 items were studied. The domain level was distinguished from the superordinate level along multiple dimensions, including typicality being unrelated to feature sharedness, but related to prevalence of feature types. The animate/inanimate distinction was supported by a simpler feature type analysis and a more reliable superordinate categorization. We argue that domain categorization relies on processes that are largely independent from those at the more specific, superordinate, level and occurs along the animacy dimension.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Neste projeto exploramos a tipicidade dos conceitos como dimensão chave da memória semântica, combinando medidas comportamentais e imagiológicas em jovens e idosos saudáveis. Dados de fMRI com jovens adultos mostraram que a categorização de itens atípicos, relativamente a itens típicos, envolveu maior ativação dos lobos temporal anterior e frontal inferior, evidenciando a sinergia entre representação conceptual e controlo executivo na memória semântica. O estudo com idosos revelou que o declínio cognitivo (indexado pelo MoCA) prediz o aumento do efeito de tipicidade, indicando vulnerabilidade do sistema semântico com o envelhecimento. Os resultados enfatizam a cooperação entre representação conceptual e controlo cognitivo no processamento semântico. Estudos de neuroimagem em curso com idosos permitirão perceber quais as funções semânticas mais afetadas no envelhecimento.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND
While a dog is a good example of a mammal, a bat is less so. Concept typicality, i.e., the degree to which a concept belongs to a category, has for long been known as critical to structuring conceptual knowledge. Recently, it has also been recognized as important in episodic memory, although the way this semantic dimension shapes episodic retrieval is still unclear.
AIM OF THE STUDY
We explored the interaction between semantic and episodic memory, in particular how concept typicality, a key dimension in semantic organization, modulates the neurocognitive bases of episodic retrieval.
METHOD
A behavioural and an fMRI study with healthy young adults explored concept typicality effects on both semantic and episodic decisions. In a semantic task, participants saw a category (e.g., mammal) followed by typical (e.g., dog) or atypical (e.g., bat) item and decided if the item belonged to the category. In a subsequent memory retrieval task, previously seen items and new ones were shown and participants indicated if the item was old or new.
RESULTS
Participants were faster and more accurate to categorize typical than atypical items. Interestingly, the memory retrieval task revealed the opposite effect with better retrieval of atypical items. At a neural level, retrieval of atypical items (relative to new ones) involved a large network including lateral temporal cortices bilaterally, left lateral and medial prefrontal, and bilateral angular gyrus. Conversely, retrieval of typical items only showed posterior cingulate and superior parietal activation.
CONCLUSION
During retrieval of atypical items, the lateral temporal cortex, critical in the storage of semantic features, interplays with lateral and medial prefrontal areas, involved in semantic elaboration and monitoring. Atypical items carry distinctive features (e.g., a bat is a flying mammal) that are more related to the memory decision. These distinctive events induce greater semantic elaboration, via fronto-temporal interactions, which promote episodic retrieval.
