The rise of robotic applications has led to the generation of a huge volume of unstructured data, whereas the current cloud infrastructure was designed to process limited amounts of structured data. To address this problem, we propose a learn-memorize-recall-reduce paradigm for robotic cloud computing. The learning stage converts incoming unstructured data into structured data; the memorization...

Using single factor ANOVA I show that there are large individual differences in free recall (η² ranges from 0.09-0.26) including the total recall, the balance between recency and primacy, and the initial recall (subsequent recalls show smaller individual differences). All three memory properties are relatively uncorrelated. The variance in the initial position may be a measure of executive cont...

Neurology 2012;78:374–375 Memory testing beyond the 3-word recall of brief mental status examinations is not routinely performed on patients with memory complaints. This is due to time constraints and uncertainty over how to conduct and interpret a valid learning and memory examination. Failure to evaluate memory complaints consistently with objective assessments has no doubt contributed to the...

The initial recall distribution in a free recall experiment is shown to be predictably different from the overall free recall distribution including an offset which can cause the least remembered items to be almost completely absent from the first recall. Using the overall free recall distribution as input and a single parameter describing the probability of simultaneous reactivated items per n...

Recently Murdock (1960) has shown that in free recall RI, the total number of words recalled after one presentation, is a linear function of t, total presentation time. Nothing was said about the serial position effect, though this is a well-known phenomenon of free recall (e.g., Deese & Kaufman, 1957). However, given that there is a serial position effect, the simple linear relationship betwee...

Some theorists have argued that the immediate recency effect observed in free recall reflects the emptying out of the contents of a short-term memory buffer (Davelaar, Goshen-Gottstein, Ashkenazi, Haarmann, & Usher, 2005). Others have argued that immediate recency reflects the properties of temporal context used to cue free recall (Howard & Kahana, 2002). We examined immediate free recall of li...
