Even an activated long-term memory system still needs a separate short-term store: A reply to Cowan (2019).

In Norris (2017), I explained why the notion of activated LTM (long-term memory) combined with a focus of attention was unable to perform the computations required to support short-term memory (STM) and argued that those extra computations must require a separate STM system. Cowan (2019) made the alternative proposal that this full set of computations is better conceptualized as a unitary system of activated LTM. To this he added a pointer system, the ability to perform variable binding, and an unspecified model of STM that acts as a front end to LTM. This appears to be simply an exercise in relabeling. Furthermore, without a computational specification of how the components work, the model lacks the ability to simulate even the most basic STM phenomena. If the model were specified in more detail it seems almost inevitable that it would contain something instantly recognizable as an STM system.

即使激活的长期记忆系统仍然需要单独的短期存储:对Cowan(2019)的回复。

在Norris(2017)中,我解释了为什么激活的LTM(长期记忆)与关注焦点相结合的概念无法执行支持短期记忆(STM)所需的计算,并指出这些额外的计算必须一个单独的STM系统。Cowan(2019)提出了另一种建议,那就是将完整的计算集更好地概念化为激活LTM的单一系统。为此,他添加了一个指针系统,执行变量绑定的功能以及一个未指定的STM模型(充当LTM的前端)。这似乎只是重新标记的一种练习。此外,由于没有关于组件如何工作的计算说明,该模型甚至无法模拟最基本的STM现象。
