“…Network science is based on mathematical graph theory, which provides quantitative methods to represent and investigate complex systems as networks (Baronchelli, Ferrer-i-Cancho, Pastor-Satorras, Chater, & Christiansen, 2013;Siew, Wulff, Beckage, & Kenett, 2019). Network science methodologies provide a powerful computational approach for modeling cognitive structures such as semantic memory (i.e., memory of word meanings, categorizations of concepts and facts, and knowledge about the world; Kumar, Steyvers, & Balota, 2021;Steyvers & Tenenbaum, 2005) and mental lexicon (i.e., word meaning, pronunciation, and syntactic characteristics; Stella, Beckage, Brede, & De Domenico, 2018;Wulff et al, 2019; for a review, see Siew, Wulff, Beckage, & Kenett, 2019).…”
