Unified Modeling of Proactive Interference and Memorization Effort: A new mathematical perspective within ACT-R theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
We parsimoniously model the effect of proactive interference and memorization effort in learning stable graphical layouts. We model the visual search cost, i.e. the number of distractors visually encoded while looking for a target item, as a reasonable surrogate of onscreen proactive interference. Further, we show that a novel quantity that we term “effort factor” is an acceptable estimate for comparing the memorization effort across different access cost of onscreen information during the early stages of practice.

The ACT-R cognitive theory models forgetting in general with a constant “decay due to passage of time” parameter. However, this is not sufficient to predict learning for frequently executed tasks in dense arrangements of items. Prominent examples are twodimensional location learning in finding keys on a keyboard or clicking on items on a web page or in a graphical user interface. Our work prese...

متن کاملGhosts in the machine: memory interference from the previous trial.
Previous memoranda can interfere with the memorization or storage of new information, a concept known as proactive interference. Studies of proactive interference typically use categorical memoranda and match-to-sample tasks with categorical measures such as the proportion of correct to incorrect responses. In this study we instead train five macaques in a spatial memory task with continuous me...
