Preferred term

SOB-CS model  

Definition

  • Connectionist model of the complex span explaining the limitations of working memory capacity by interference mechanisms: "SOB-CS is a two-layer neural network that associates distributed item representations with distributed, overlapping position markers. Memory capacity limits are explained by interference from a superposition of associations. Concurrent processing interferes with memory through involuntary encoding of distractors. Free time in-between distractors is used to remove irrelevant representations, thereby reducing interference." (Oberauer et al., 2012, p. 779).
