Highly skeptical of social media yet somehow still here. Cognitive science, open science, quite a range of sciencey things actually. Professor at Maynooth University 🇮🇪

The basic-level advantage suggests that semantic information is preferentially accessed (faster, more accurate) at the basic level of a concept (e.g., dog), rather than at the superordinate (e.g., animal) or subordinate level (e.g., labrador). 1/ #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #semanticMemory
