Associative symmetry vs. independent associations
نویسندگان
چکیده
We develop a neural network model of paired-associate learning based upon an autoassociative learning mechanism. We show that this relatively simple neural network can replicate complex human behavioral data, but only when the correlation between forward and backward learning is highly correlated. This network-based analysis is used to constrain psychological theories of association in humans. ( 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Running head: ASSOCIATIVE ASYMMETRY OF COMPOUND WORDS 1 Associative asymmetry of compound words
Early verbal-memory researchers assumed participants represent memory of a pairs of unrelated items with two independent, separately modifiable, directional associations. However, memory for pairs of unrelated words (A–B) exhibits associative symmetry: a near-perfect correlation between accuracy on forward (A→?) and backward (?←B) cued recall. This was viewed arguing against the independent-ass...

متن کاملAssociations compete directly in memory.
Associations are confusable when they share an item. For example, double-function pairs (with the form AB, BC) are harder to remember than control pairs. Although ambiguous pairs are more difficult on average, it is not clear whether memories for associations compete directly with one another (associative competition hypothesis), as assumed by models that incorporate associative symmetry (bidir...
متن کاملAssociative symmetry versus independent associations in the memory for object-location associations.
The formation of associations between objects and locations is a vital aspect of episodic memory. More specifically, remembering the location where one experienced an object and, vice versa, the object one encountered at a specific location are both important elements for the memory of an event. Whether episodic associations are holistic representations of individual components or whether there...
