{"pk":33294,"title":"A production system model of memory for spatial descriptions","subtitle":null,"abstract":"When people read spatial descriptions they construct a mental model. When they attempt to remember the spatial description they may rely on memory for the description itself, memory for the constructed model, and/or memory for the operations used to construct the mental model an episodic construction trace (Payne, 1993). This paper reports an ACT-R simulation of this multiple-representation account of memory for spatial descriptions. The simulation shows that the idea of a remembered construction trace can arise naturally from ACT-R's treatment of goals as declarative memory elements. The simulation captures the most important experimental data in favour of the construction trace hypothesis.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Long Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/91t867g5","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Gareth","middle_name":"E.","last_name":"Miles","name_suffix":"","institution":"","department":""},{"first_name":"Stephen","middle_name":"J.","last_name":"Payne","name_suffix":"","institution":"School of Psychology, University of Wales","department":""},{"first_name":"Thom","middle_name":"","last_name":"Baguley","name_suffix":"","institution":"Department of Human Sciences, University of Loughborough","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"1998-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/33294/galley/24354/download/"}]}
