The time‐based resource sharing (TBRS) model is a prominent model of working memory that is both predictive and simple. TBRS is a mainstream decay‐based model and the most susceptible to competition with interference‐based models. A connectionist implementation of TBRS, TBRS*, has recently been developed. However, TBRS* is an enriched version of TBRS, making it difficult to test general characteristics resulting from TBRS assumptions. Here, we describe a novel model, TBRS2, built to be more transparent and simple than TBRS*. TBRS2 is minimalist and allows only a few parameters. It is a straightforward mathematical transcription of TBRS that focuses exclusively on the activation level of memory items as a function of time. Its simplicity makes it possible to derive several theorems from the original TBRS and allows several variants of the refresh process to be tested without relying on particular architectures.

工作记忆“基于时间的资源共享”理论的数学转录。

基于时间的资源共享（TBRS）模型是工作记忆的杰出模型，具有预测性和简单性。TBRS是基于衰减的主流模型，最容易与基于干扰的模型竞争。TBRS *的连接主义实现最近得到了发展。但是，TBRS *是TBRS的丰富版本，因此很难测试由TBRS假设得出的一般特性。在这里，我们描述了一种新颖的模型TBRS2，该模型比TBRS *更加透明和简单。TBRS2极简，仅允许几个参数。这是TBRS的一种简单的数学记录，仅着眼于记忆功能的激活水平随时间的变化。
