Despite its central role in cognition, little attention has been paid to its involvement in everyday actions. The objective of this theoretical paper is to establish a link between current models of semantic memory and of everyday actions. Following a brief description of Grafman’s (1995) model of scripts and Cooper and Shallice’s (2000) model of schemas, we present the main models of semantic memory (sensory functional, domain-specific, semantic hub). Barsalou’s (2003) situated simulation theory is then presented. This theory provides a bridge between the two areas of research and clarifies the role of semantic memory in decision-making and in the achievement of everyday actions. More specifically, we present two of its premises: goal-derived categories and simulation. Finally, we propose directions for future research exploring the relationship between semantic memory, problem solving and routine actions.
