Encoding information for future action: memory for to-be-performed tasks versus memory for to-be-recalled tasks.
What is the nature of the representation underlying memory for future tasks such as calling the doctor or buying milk? If this representation consists of a verbal instruction that is translated into action at the time of retrieval, then memory should be better when tested via verbatim recall of the instruction than when tested via actual performance. Three experiments rejected this possibility,...
متن کاملAging and memory for self-performed tasks: effects of task difficulty and time pressure.
An increase in task difficulty or time pressure during the performance of cognitive tasks decreased the ability of older adults to recall the tasks. In Experiments 1 and 2, adult age differences in recall of cognitive tasks were smaller for easier than for more difficult tasks, and, in Experiment 3, adult age differences were smaller for recall of cognitive tasks without time pressure than for ...
متن کاملHow important tasks are performed: peer review
The advancement of various fields of science depends on the actions of individual scientists via the peer review process. The referees' work patterns and stochastic nature of decision making both relate to the particular features of refereeing and to the universal aspects of human behavior. Here, we show that the time a referee takes to write a report on a scientific manuscript depends on the f...
متن کاملFunctional decay of memory for tasks.
Correct performance often depends on remembering the task one has been instructed to do. When the task periodically changes, memory for the current task must decay (lose activation) to prevent it from interfering with memory for the next task when that is encoded. Three task-switching experiments examine this decay process. Each shows within-run slowing, a performance decline occurring as memor...
متن کاملEvolving Memory: Logical Tasks for Cellular Automata
We present novel experiments in the evolution of Cellular Automata (CA) to solve nontrivial tasks. Using a genetic algorithm, we evolved CA rules that can solve non-trivial logical tasks related to the density task (or majority classification problem) commonly used in the literature. We present the particle catalogs of the new rules following the computational mechanics framework. We know from ...
