Abstract

The present study explored the spreading activation model of semantic networks in Chinese context to know how people research information from long-term memory and what influences the time of research mostly. Based on the three-level semantic networks of Collins and Qullian’ s theory and the conclusion, “frequency will affect the reaction time”, of Conrad’s study, the present study put forward the hypothesis that the category and the frequency of semantic would interactively influence the retrieval time. The participants were 30 undergraduates aged from 19 to 21. The present study found that the level impacted the reaction time very little. On the contrary, the frequency impacted it most. In addition, the interaction between the category and the frequency of semantic was not significant. The present study supported the theories that frequency had great impact on the reaction time and further verified that the elements that would influence the retrieval time were complicated.
