The Semantic Librarian: A Search Engine Built from Vector-Space Models of Semantics

Psychologists have made substantial progress at developing empirically validated formal expressions of how people perceive, learn, remember, think, and know. In this paper, we present an academic search engine for cognitive psychology that leverages computational expressions of human cognition (vector-space models of semantics) to represent and find papers in the psychological record. The method shows how psychological theory can be used to inform and aid the design of psychologically intuitive computer interfaces. An R Shiny version of the Semantic Librarian is available at https://crumplab.github.io/SemanticLibrarian/

Is there no cross-cultural evidence in colour categories of psychological laws, only of cultural rules?

Two points are made on the basis of (mainly) the cross- cultural psychological record. The first is that cross-cultural data indicate at least weak, nontrivial constraints on colour classification. The second is that exceptions to cross-cultural regularities as described by Saunders & van Brakel are compatible with the view that constraints on colour categories are probabilistic rather than deterministic.
