Question

when marias friend mentioned an upcoming concert, maria quickly thought about the new cd that was supposed to come out that day. this connection that occurred as a result of the word concert is an example of a ____________. a. semantic network b. hierarchy c. concept d. schema please select the best answer from the choices provided a b c d

Explanation:

• A semantic network is a model that shows how concepts are related. When Maria heard "concert" and thought of the CD (another related concept), it fits the idea of a semantic network.
• A hierarchy is a ranking or order (like a chain of command), which isn't shown here.
• A concept is a general idea (like "animal"), but the key here is the connection between two ideas (concert - CD), not just a single concept.
• A schema is a mental framework (like a "restaurant schema" with tables, menus etc.), which is different from this quick concept - to - concept connection.

Answer:

A. semantic network
