A Functional Approach to Levels of Processing
نویسندگان
چکیده
The present article argues for what is essentially a return to the functionalist approach to investigation of memory. Two experiments demonstrate that the effects of level of processing depend on scaled meaningfulness of the material and study time. Data from those experiments along with data currently in the literature are then reanalyzed to examine the effect of repetitions. Of particular interest is the form of the function relating number of repetitions to retention performance, and the manner in which that function is influenced by variations in level of processing and scaled meaningfulness. It is argued that task demands operate to change the form of the function relating repetitions to retention performance.

Hierarchical Functional Concepts for Knowledge Transfer among Reinforcement Learning Agents
This article introduces the notions of functional space and concept as a way of knowledge representation and abstraction for Reinforcement Learning agents. These definitions are used as a tool of knowledge transfer among agents. The agents are assumed to be heterogeneous; they have different state spaces but share a same dynamic, reward and action space. In other words, the agents are assumed t...
