--- abstract: '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.' altloc: [] chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: ~ conference: ~ confloc: ~ contact_email: ~ creators_id: - etarnow@avabiz.com creators_name: - family: Tarnow given: Eugen honourific: Dr. lineage: '' date: 2013-08-03 date_type: completed datestamp: 2013-09-17 14:21:48 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/90/73 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: 0 edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: [] editors_name: [] eprint_status: archive eprintid: 9073 fileinfo: /style/images/fileicons/text_html.png;/9073/1/Criteria%20for%20evaluating%20computer%20models%20of%20short%20term%20memory%20070512.doc full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: unpub issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: ~ item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: short term memory models lastmod: 2013-09-17 14:21:48 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: ~ number: ~ pagerange: ~ pubdom: TRUE publication: ~ publisher: ~ refereed: FALSE referencetext: "Brown GDA, Neath I, Chater N (2007) A temporal ratio model of memory.
