title: How to Kill a Computer Model of Short Term Memory in Psychological Review  Part I: Separate Fittings of Experimental Data
creator: Tarnow, Dr. Eugen
subject: Cognitive Psychology
subject: Computational Neuroscience
description: The short term memory field is inundated with computer models purporting to describe the workings of our mind.  I show that several of them are not based in science: they use parameters that do not have intrinsic values but are simply separately fitted to each experimental situation, in effect treating each memory experiment as having different-species subjects.
