2014 Most models of memory proposed so far use symmetric synapses. We show that this assumption is not necessary for a neural network to display memory abilities. We present an analytical derivation of memory capacities which does not appeal to the replica technique. It only uses a more transparent and straightforward mean-field approximation. The memorization efficiency depends on four learnin...

Five experiments evaluated the contributions of rule, exemplar, fragment, and episodic knowledge in artificial grammar learning using memorization versus hypothesis-testing training tasks. Strings of letters were generated from a biconditional grammar that allows different sources of responding to be unconfounded. There was no evidence that memorization led to passive abstraction of rules or en...

Using the criteria defined by Hasher and Zacks [Hasher, L., & Zacks, R. T. (1979). Automatic and effortful processes in memory. Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 108(3), 356-388], three studies examined the effects of intent of memorization, dual task interference, old age, practice and individual differences on memory for egocentric positions. Results showed that dual task interfere...

This paper proposes that in addition to the typical “out-of-the-blue” existential construction, a kind of contextualized construction exists Mandarin Chinese. form does not exhibit predicate restriction observed constructions cross-linguistically. It is argued this type involves topic-comment structure and functions as subtype Existential Coda Construction discussed by Zhang (2007, 2008). The c...

In this note, we propose a modification of Steffensen's method with some free parameters. These parameters are then be used for further acceleration via the concept of with memorization. In this way, we derive a fast Steffensen-type method with memory for solving nonlinear equations. Numerical results are also given to support the underlying theory of the article.  

The zero input future behaviour of a dynamical system is determined by its initial state or initial function. For nontrivial regulatory systems involving adoption, learning, specialization, differentiation that corresponds to the memorization of initial information. In this work, we studied neutrally stable systems involving delays, under aspect of memorization. In particular we showed that tho...
