I find that exactly two stages can be seen directly in sequential free recall distributions. These distributions show that the first three recalls come from the emptying of working memory, recalls 6 and above come from a second stage and…
Recently it was shown that free recall consists of two stages: the first few recalls empty working memory and a second stage concludes the recall (Tarnow, 2015; for a review of the theoretical prediction see Murdock, 1974). Here I…

Free recall of random lists of words is a standard paradigm used to probe human memory. We proposed an associative search process that can be reduced to a deterministic walk on random graphs defined by the structure of memory…
When a user finds an interesting recommendation in a recommender system, the user may want to recall related items recommended in the past to reconsider or to enjoy them again. If the system can pick up such "recalled" items at each user's…
Free recall consists of two separate stages: the emptying of working memory and reactivation [1]. The Tarnow Unchunkable Test (TUT, [2]) uses double integer items to separate out only the first stage by making it difficult to reactivate…
Reasoning models have gained significant attention due to their strong performance, particularly when enhanced with retrieval augmentation. However, these models often incur high computational costs, as both retrieval and reasoning tokens…
The training of modern large language models (LLMs) takes place in a regime where most training examples are seen only a few times by the model during the course of training. What does a model remember about such examples seen only a few…
Recall, the proportion of relevant documents retrieved, is an important measure of effectiveness in information retrieval, particularly in the legal, patent, and medical domains. Where document sets are too large for exhaustive relevance…
An analysis of free-recall datasets from two independent experiments allows to identify two anomalous instances of non-monotonicity in free recall: a maximum in the dependence of the inter-response intervals on the serial-position lags, and…
We present analytical derivation of the minimal and maximal number of items retained in recently introduced Retroactive Interference Model of Forgetting. Also we computed the probability that two items presented at different times are…
In this paper, we present a neural network system related to about memory and recall that consists of one neuron group (the "cue ball") and a one-layer neural net (the "recall net"). This system realizes the bidirectional memorization…
Traditional studies of memory for meaningful narratives focus on specific stories and their semantic structures but do not address common quantitative features of recall across different narratives. We introduce a statistical ensemble of…
In realistic retrieval settings with large and evolving knowledge bases, the total number of documents relevant to a query is typically unknown, and recall cannot be computed. In this paper, we evaluate several established strategies for…
Personalized large language models (LLMs) rely on memory retrieval to incorporate user-specific histories, preferences, and contexts. Existing approaches either overload the LLM by feeding all the user's past memory into the prompt, which…
In continual learning, a model learns incrementally over time while minimizing interference between old and new tasks. One of the most widely used approaches in continual learning is referred to as replay. Replay methods support interleaved…
Does the "law of contiguity" apply to free recall? I find that conditional response probabilities, often used as evidence for contiguity in free recall, have been displayed insufficiently, limiting the distance from the last item recalled,…
Although originally developed to evaluate sets of items, recall is often used to evaluate rankings of items, including those produced by recommender, retrieval, and other machine learning systems. The application of recall without a formal…
A topological argument is presented concering the structure of semantic space, based on the negative correlation between polysemy and word length. The resulting graph structure is applied to the modeling of free-recall experiments,…
Using English words as passwords have been a popular topic in the last few years. The following article discusses a study to compare self-selection of the system-generated words for recognition and self-generated words for recall for nouns…
