One cognitive function that is dependent upon the domains of executive control is the retrieval of semantic knowledge [ 4].
The retrieval of explicit knowledge representation is currently the subject of the increasingly important field of research of information retrieval (IR).
Furthermore, we examined whether brain regions recruited during the retrieval of action knowledge would overlap with those implicated in semantic control in both group analyses and at the single-subject level.
As emotion word elicited motor activation suggests the retrieval of action knowledge in abstract emotion word processing, these results contribute to the long-standing debate about the nature of the meaning of words typically used to speak about inner states of the body.
We assume this could happen in our experiment, as the experimental task did not demand the retrieval of associative-semantic knowledge.
This may suggest that the retrieval of rule-based knowledge could be responsible for middle temporal and anterior inferior prefrontal activation in our study.
Three further sets of empirical evidence from studies employing exactly the same task indicate that it is indeed the retrieval of multiplication fact knowledge that drives the multiplicativity effect.
This research work aims to the systematic capturing, storage and retrieval of knowledge about engineering projects and enable its reuse in the design and planning phases.
As evidenced in the development and evaluation, the methods proposed are useful for the re-use of design knowledge and can be generalised to be used for the retrieval of other kinds of structured design knowledge.
