How do we search through our vast stores of knowledge to retrieve information demanded by the context and task at hand? Davelaar (2015) finds that the words people report while searching for one word that is meaningfully associated with three cues (e.g., cues: comb, moon, dew; answer: honey; the Remote Associates Test, RAT) seem to be drawn from a superadditive combination of the semantic associations of the three cues, rather than "clustered" in pre-existing patches as expected by previous theories of semantic search (e.g., Troyer, Moscovitch, & Winocur, 1997). Although we found similar behavior in the same paradigm (Smith, Huber, & Vul, 2013), our interpretation hinged on a different property of search: There is sequential dependence between words reported during the search process.
