Organización reticular de la memoria semántica. Natural Finder y Definition Finder, dos métodos informatizados para recuperar conocimiento Reticular organization of semantic memory. Natural and Finder Definition finder, two computerized methods for retrieving knowledge

Two types of theories address the organization of conceptual knowledge: holistic and featurebased. The aim of this paper is to present two computerized methods to capture and analyze semantic networks, the Natural Finder and the Definition Finder, which belong to these models respectively. The first is a recursive procedure to capture the natural semantic network of a person around a target concept; the second shows as a result the set of weighted defining features for certain concept given by a social group. Examples of its application are presented.
