INFORMATION PROCESSING, SEARCH AND RETRIEVAL

描述（根据申请人摘要改编）：本建议书 探讨了有关内存存储的几个基本问题， 检索 主要目标是发展一种理论， 对该领域的主要现象进行定量预测， 从三个主要研究领域的拟议研究结果：1） 信息在内存中的表现。 内存存储是复合的， 在许多神经网络和联结主义模型中，或者像传统上那样分开 假设在研究者的理论称为SAM（或搜索的关联 记忆）？ 不同层次的信息是如何组合在一起的， 例如特征、单词和句子？ 2)上下文在存储中的作用 和检索。 在储存过程中，它何时发生变化？ 测试？ 背景变化在多大程度上是遗忘的基础？ 3)的时间 检索过程和响应时间。 哪些因素影响检索 时间？ 什么模型解释了响应时间？ 响应时间如何 与再认、线索回忆和自由回忆有关吗？ 如何准确和 响应时间数据可以一起建模吗？ 调查人员希望创造一个 一个能够预测这种现象的模型。

DESCRIPTION (ADAPTED FROM THE APPLICANT'S ABSTRACT): This proposal explores several fundamental issues concerning memory storage and retrieval. The primary goal is the development of a theory capable of quantitative predictions of the major phenomena in the field and the results from proposed studies in three main research areas: 1) The representation of information in memory. Is memory storage composite, as in many neural net and connectionist models, or separate, as traditionally assumed in the investigator's theory known as SAM (or Search of Associate Memory)? How are different levels of information represented together, such as features, words and sentences? 2) The role of context in storage and retrieval. When does it change during storage, and how is it chosen at test? To what degree does context change underlie forgetting? 3) The time course of retrieval and response times. What factors affect retrieval time? What model explains the time to respond? How are response times related in recognition, cued recall, and free recall? How can accuracy and response time data be modeled together? The investigator hopes to create a general model capable of predicting such phenomena.
