Bays and Husain (Reports, 8 August 2008, p. 851) reported that human working memory, the limited information currently in mind, reflects resources distributed across all items in an array. In an alternative interpretation, memory is limited to several well-represented items. We argue that this item-limit model fits the extant data better than the distributed-resources model and is more interpretable theoretically.
贝斯和侯赛因(《报告》,2008年8月8日,第851页)报告称,人类工作记忆,即当前脑海中有限的信息,反映了分布在一组所有项目中的资源。另一种解释是,记忆仅限于几个有充分表征的项目。我们认为,这种项目限制模型比分布式资源模型更适合现有数据,并且在理论上更具可解释性。
