A Connectionist Model of False Memories
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a connectionist model of false memories called the Associative Self-Organizing Network (ASON) model. Four mechanisms underlying the Constructive Memory Framework (CMF) guide the design of the ASON model, a connectionist operationalisation of the CMF. Simulation studies of experiments in the DRM paradigm reveal the ASON model to exhibit false memories. In addition, the effects of Mean Backward Associative Strength and output order on the probability of false recall are simulated. We conclude that the ASON model is capable of simulating and explaining the main findings on false memories.

Computational modeling of dynamic decision making using connectionist networks
In this research connectionist modeling of decision making has been presented. Important areas for decision making in the brain are thalamus, prefrontal cortex and Amygdala. Connectionist modeling with 3 parts representative for these 3 areas is made based the result of Iowa Gambling Task. In many researches Iowa Gambling Task is used to study emotional decision making. In these kind of decisio...
متن کاملAnalysis of Short Term Memories for Neural Networks
Short term memory is indispensable for the processing of time varying information with artificial neural networks. In this paper a model for linear memories is presented, and ways to include memories in connectionist topologies are discussed. A comparison is drawn among different memory types, with indication of what is the salient characteristic of each memory model.
متن کاملAutobiographical Brand Images Give a Higher Chance to False Memory as Compared to Neutral Images
Consumers’ prior experiences shape an episodic memory which largely influences their decision-making process. This episodic memory is mainly linked to cognitive and emotional perception and we know that a brand image influences our cognitive and emotional perception. Nevertheless, it has not been well described how autobiographical memories of brand images differ from those of other types of im...
متن کاملتاثیر تقسیم توجه و دستگاه حسی مورد استفاده در مرحله مطالعه بر میزان یادآوری کاذب در مدل دیز- رودیگر- مکدرموت
Some of theories which try to explain the mechanisms underlying false memory phenomenon postulate that false memories are due to existence of semantic relations between studied items which increase memory's vulnerability to this kind of distortion. Thus, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of shifting attention away from semantic relations among words in associative lists...
متن کاملThe false memory syndrome: experimental studies and comparison to confabulations.
False memories, or recollections that are factually incorrect but strongly believed, remain a source of confusion for both psychiatrists and neurologists. We propose model for false memories based on recent experimental investigations, particularly when analyzed in comparison to confabulations, which are the equivalent of false memories from neurological disease. Studies using the Deese/Roeding...
