{"pk":30753,"title":"A PDP model of sequence learning that exhibits the power law","subtitle":null,"abstract":"This paper examines some characteristics of the learning process in a model of skill learning(Miyata, 1987) in which performance of executing sequential actions becomes increasingly more efficient as a skill is practiced. The model is a hierarchy of sequential PDP networks which was designed to model a shift from a slow, serial performance of a novice to a fast,parallel performance of an expert in tasks such as typing. The network develops representation of a set of sequences as it tries to produce the sequences faster. The model was found to yield the power law of learning (Newell and Rosenbloom, 1981). In addition, it exhibited a frequency effect on substitution errors similar to what was found in typing(Grudin, 1983).","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Paper Presentations","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/0qn8t8jp","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Yoshiro","middle_name":"","last_name":"Miyata","name_suffix":"","institution":"Bell Communications Research","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"1989-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/30753/galley/20602/download/"}]}
