Synaptic weight decay with selective consolidation enables fast learning without catastrophic forgetting (2019, background): “In economics, the selective integration that discards low-value options is known as economic irrationality (Tsetsos et al., 2016), reminiscent of discarding low-activity events when learning associations across time.”
Selective overweighting of larger magnitudes during noisy numerical comparison (2017, methodology): “3a): (1) physical number, with minimum dissimilarity between identical numbers and maximum dissimilarity between all other pairs, regardless of sample category; (2) sample category, with minimum and maximum dissimilarity between same and different category samples; (3) numerical parity, with minimum”
