spreadr: Simulating Spreading Activation in a Network
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). See Vitevitch, M. S., Ercal, G., & Adagarla, B. (2011).
