Semantic Network Theory

Semantic Network Theory is a way of representing knowledge as a network of concepts connected by relationships. Imagine it as a map where each idea (like "dog") is a point, and lines show how these points relate (like "is a type of" or "can bark"). This structure helps us understand and retrieve information, as related concepts are easily linked together. For example, if you think of "dog," you might quickly recall "pet," "animal," or "bark." This theory supports how we organize and access our general knowledge about the world.
