Package: spreadr Type: Package Title: Simulating Spreading Activation in a Network Version: 0.3.0 Authors@R: c( person("Cynthia","Siew", role = c("aut", "cre"), email = "cynsiewsq@gmail.com", ), person(c("Dirk","U."), "Wulff", role = "ctb", email = "dirk.wulff@gmail.com"), person(c("Ning","Yuan"), "Lee", role = "ctb", email = "ningyuan.sg@gmail.com")) Description: The notion of spreading activation is a prevalent metaphor in the cognitive sciences. This package provides the tools for cognitive scientists and psychologists to conduct computer simulations that implement spreading activation in a network representation. The algorithmic method implemented in 'spreadr' subroutines follows the approach described in Vitevitch, Ercal, and Adagarla (2011, Frontiers), who viewed activation as a fixed cognitive resource that could spread among nodes that were connected to each other via edges or connections (i.e., a network).
