All
2 of 21
From Nosofsky's (1991) study, there is at least ______ model(s) that can predict the behaviour between observed and predicted probabilities of both _________ and ___________.
One, classification, recognition

What is not true of the Ptolemaic model?
Assumed that the planets had elliptical orbits rather than circular
4 of 21
Why did the Copernican model replace the Ptolemaic model?
It was simpler and involved the fewest assumptions

In Marr's (1982) levels of analysis, what does the computational level entail?
What the system does
6 of 21
In Marr's (1982) levels of analysis, what does the algorithmic/representational level entail?
How the system can do what it does
7 of 21
In Marr's (1982) levels of analysis, what does the physical level entail?
How the system is physically realised
8 of 21
What is not true about process characterisation (Lewandowsky & Farrell, 2011)?
The constructs must be computed from the model's architecture
9 of 21
What is not true about process explanation (Lewandowsky & Farrell, 2011)?
Describes the relationship between variables
10 of 21
What is a disadvantage of computational models?
May not be complete enough to be testable
11 of 21
What kind of model is the multinomial processing tree approach?
Process characterisation
12 of 21
What is 'I' in the MPT approach?
The probability that a memory trace is intact
13 of 21
What is 'R' in the MPT approach?
The probability that the memory trace can be recreated from a less than intact structure
14 of 21

Hulme et al. (1997) assumed that R was greater for _________________
High frequency words
16 of 21
Hulme et al. (1997) assumed that I was greater for __________________
Words with earlier serial positions
17 of 21
Hulme et al. (1997) found that...
Word frequency influenced recall but mostly for later serial positions
18 of 21
The process explanation model begins with calculations of distances from exemplars in memory _ and a test item _
J, I
19 of 21
The process explanation model decides how these distances will relate to ________
Similarity
20 of 21
What is versimilitude?
There is enough truth about the model to continue using it
