A Temporal Ratio Model of Memory
TL;DR: The model embodies 4 main claims: temporal memory--traces of items are represented in memory partly in terms of their temporal distance from the present, scale-similarity--similar mechanisms govern retrieval from memory over many different timescales, local distinctiveness--performance on a range of memory tasks is determined by interference from near psychological neighbors, and interference-based forgetting.
Journal ArticleDOI
