They are almost all network-based or "model"-based, and logic is virtually unheard of. I find them most unsatisfying, personally, but they are all the rage. Sorry I can't be more specific but you might look up citations of the following in Social Science Citation Index. Collins & Quillian (1969?) Collins & Loftus (1972?) Also, take a look at the semantics chapter in Philip Johnson-Laird's book, _Mental Models_. -- Christopher D.
