{"pk":26714,"title":"Time Course of Fidelity and Contributing Factors to Long-Term Memory","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Various models have been implemented to explain long-term memory (Brady, et al., 2013; Lew, et al., 2015), withsome being derived from studies of visual working memory (Bays, et al. 2009; Zhang & Luck, 2008). The implicit assumptionis that processes and mechanisms of working memory also exist in long-term memory. However, the findings of fidelity andcontributing factors are highly varied (e.g., Persaud & Hemmer, 2014; Schurgin & Flombaum, 2015) To address what happensto memory traces as they transition from visual working into long-term memory and what factors, such as prior knowledgeand guessing, contribute to the “lifespan” of long-term memory, we implemented three models: the standard remember-guessmodel, a three-component remember-guess model, and a Bayesian mixture model and evaluated these models against data froma continuous recall task. The results clarify the time course of fidelity in long-term memory and pinpoints specific factors thatcontribute to memory.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Member Abstracts","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/5mj9p4bq","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Kimele","middle_name":"","last_name":"Persaud","name_suffix":"","institution":"Rutgers University","department":""},{"first_name":"Pernille","middle_name":"","last_name":"Hemmer","name_suffix":"","institution":"Rutgers University","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2016-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/26714/galley/16350/download/"}]}
