Semantic Representations in Working Memory: A Computational Model
Benjamin Kowialiewski,
Klaus Oberauer
Abstract:Verbal Working Memory (WM) is supported by semantic knowledge. One manifestation of this is the rich pattern of semantic similarity effects found in immediate serial recall tasks. These effects differ from the effects of similarity on other dimensions (e.g., phonological similarity), which renders them difficult to explain. We propose a comprehensive mechanistic explanation of semantic similarity effects by extending a standard connectionist architecture for modeling immediate serial recall to incorporate sema… Show more
