We think that the key to understanding the plasticity of semantic knowledge lies at the intersection of learning and memory. We thus combine category learning and language-based paradigms to try to tackle these difficult questions.

How is structure extracted during novel category learning, and what are the consequences of that structure?
How is structure extracted during novel category learning, and what are the consequences of that structure?
By carefully designing novel categories, we can manipulate their internal feature-based structure to determine how that structure influences the emergent representations and our ability to use those representations flexibly.

What structures support conceptual flexibility, and what does that structure enable?
What structures support conceptual flexibility, and what does that structure enable?
Exploring the flexible ways in which humans use concepts across different contexts lets us characterize the nature of that flexibility and determine what representational structures are necessary to support it.
