为主要的布朗-彼得森实验开发了一系列模型,该模型基于随着经过时间的倒数而减小的权重函数。这些模型在实验误差的范围内进行了调整。随着时间的推移,回忆能力下降,秘密排练、主动干扰和重复呈现刺激的影响,以及记录延迟时的反应率(但准确性较低)。结论是:(a) 记忆的可访问性随着经过时间的倒数而降低,直到至少 27 秒; (b) 未能召回几乎完全是由于主动干预造成的; (c) 刺激的重复呈现在记忆中创建不同的记录,每个记录都有其单独的权重:(d) 倒数加权函数同时确定回忆延迟的分布和最终产生的正确回忆的累积比例。这些结果对于一般遗忘的分析具有一定的意义,至少在短时间内是这样。
A family of models, based on a weighting function that decreases as the reciprocal of elapsed time, is developed for the principal Brown-Peterson experiments. The models accommodate, within the limits of experimental error. the decrease in recall with the passage of time, the effects of covert rehearsals, of proactive interference, and of repeated presentations of the stimulus, and (but with less accuracy) the rate of responding when latencies are recorded. It is concluded that (a) the accessibility of memories decreases as the reciprocal of elapsed time up to, at least, 27 s; (b) failure to recall is almost entirely due to proactive interference; (c) repeated presentations of the stimulus create distinct records in memory, each with its separate weight: and (d) the reciprocal weighting function simultaneously determines both the distribution of recall latencies and the cumulative proportion of correct recalls ultimately produced. These results have some implications for the analysis of forgetting in general, at least over short periods of time.
