How researchers see this paper

The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Pre-Trained Models: Past, Present and Future (2021, background): “As an alternative, cognitive scientists have revealed that humans could maintain a working memory (Baddeley, 1992; Brown, 1958; Barrouillet et al., 2004; Wharton et al., 1994), which not only memorizes and organizes but also forgets.”
Design for a working memory. (2009, background): “For instance, Wharton et al. (1994) found that, when given the sentence, ‘‘The pastor calmed the businessman,’’ people are more often reminded of a previously read sentence, ‘‘The rabbi reassured the chairman’’ than another previously read sentence, ‘‘The executive soothed the priest.’’”
A Naturalistic Exploration of Forms and Functions of Analogizing (2009, background): “Transfer is most likely when surface or featural similarity is high and when there is only a brief delay between acquisition and test phases (cf. Wharton et al., 1994).”
CogLTX: Applying BERT to Long Texts (2020, background): “Then the overlooked information is constantly updated with relevant items from long-term memory by retrieval competition [52], collecting sufficient information for reasoning in the working memory.”
