Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Semantic networks are a type of cognitive architecture used to represent knowledge in the form of interconnected nodes and links. The principle of cognitive economy is a key feature of semantic networks, which aims to represent knowledge in the most efficient and effective way possible, using the least amount of cognitive resources. Therefore, the term "cognitive economy" is most closely associated with semantic networks.

(The other terms listed, distributed processing, prototype formation, and family resemblance, are also important concepts in cognitive psychology and AI, but they are not as closely associated with semantic networks as cognitive economy.)
