Begin by understanding the concept of a semantic network, which is a structure for representing knowledge in which concepts are connected by links that show relationships between them.
Consider the parallel distributed processing model, which suggests that information is processed simultaneously across multiple neural networks, allowing for rapid access to interconnected points.
Contrast this with the levels-of-processing model, which focuses on the depth of processing and how it affects memory retention, rather than the speed of accessing information.
Evaluate the information-processing model, which describes the sequence of steps involved in processing information, but does not specifically address the speed of accessing points in a semantic network.
Finally, consider decay theory, which explains the fading of memory traces over time, and is not directly related to the rapid access of points in a semantic network.
