ReAct: Synergizing Reasoning and Acting in Language Models (2022, background): “…actions with verbal reasoning (or inner speech, Alderson-Day & Fernyhough, 2015), which has been theorized to play an important role in human cognition for enabling self-regulation or strategization (Vygotsky, 1987; Luria, 1965; Fernyhough, 2010) and maintaining a working memory (Baddeley, 1992).”
Teaching Autoregressive Language Models Complex Tasks By Demonstration (2021, background): “In humans, ‘working memory’ refers to a cognitive system with a limited capacity that “provides temporary storage and manipulation of the information necessary for such complex cognitive tasks as language comprehension, learning, and reasoning” ([42], p. 556).”
Inner Speech: Development, Cognitive Functions, Phenomenology, and Neurobiology (2015, background): “Vygotsky saw support for his theory in the phenomenon now known as private speech (previously egocentric speech), in which children talk to themselves while engaged in a cognitive task.”
Learning by Distilling Context (2022, background): “These shortcomings are analogous to how humans are slow at performing complex cognitive tasks (Wason & Evans, 1974) and can hold only a limited amount of information in the working memory (Baddeley, 1992).”
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.”
Moments in Time Dataset: One Million Videos for Event Understanding (2018, background): “spond to the average duration of human working memory [1], [6] which is a short-term memory-in-action buffer specialized in repre-”
Cognitive Graph for Multi-Hop Reading Comprehension at Scale (2019, background): “System 1 could provide resources according to requests, while System 2 enables diving deeper into relational information by performing sequential thinking in the working memory, which is slower but with human-unique rationality (Baddeley, 1992).”
Voice Synthesis for in-the-Wild Speakers via a Phonological Loop (2017, methodology): “Our method is inspired by a working-memory model known as the phonological loop [3].”
Organization of visual short-term memory. (2000, background): “Ever since the pioneering study by Phillips (1974) on the visual short-term memory (VSTM) of patterns, the issue of representation has been a central topic in the study of VSTM (Baddeley, 1986; Logie, 1995).”
Making the Black Box of Collaborative Learning Transparent: Combining Process-Oriented and Cognitive Load Approaches (2010, background): “In this context, the limited processing capacity of a learner’s working memory (WM) is considered a bottleneck (Baddeley, 1986; Miller, 1956); for new, yet to be learned information, its processing capacity is limited to only 4 ± 1 elements (Cowan, 2010) and if a learning environment is too cognitiv”
The cocktail party phenomenon revisited: The importance of working memory capacity (2001, background): “The function of working memory is to actively maintain goal-relevant information in the service of complex cognition (Baddeley & Hitch, 1974; Miyake & Shah, 1999).”
Deictic Codes for the Embodiment of CognitionDana (1995, background): “The structure of working memory and its role in formation of long-term memories has been extensively examined Baddeley, 1986, Logie, 1995].”
Lateral cerebellar hemispheres actively support sensory acquisition and discrimination rather than motor control. (1997, unknown): “The enhanced activity could reflect the anatomical connect ions b e t w e e n these cerebel lar regions and the prefrontal cor tex that supports working m e m o r y processes (Baddeley 1986; Middleton and Strick 1994; Goldman-Rakic 1995) that are possibly necessary for discrimination.”
Fluid intelligence is related to capacity in memory as well as attention: Evidence from middle childhood and adulthood (2019, background): “Indeed, the most popular formulations of working memory share, at their core, an interaction between memory stores and attention [18,19].”
Eight Problems for the Mirror Neuron Theory of Action Understanding in Monkeys and Humans (2009, background): “If working memory for gestures recruits some form of motor-related rehearsal component, as is the case for speech (Baddeley, 1992), then both tasks shared a production component, which may also have contributed to the correlation.”
