Concept information

Preferred term

discrete-state model  

Definition

  • A class of computational models of recognition memory according to which “responses are based on a combination of a number of discrete mental states, typically detection and uncertainty states […]. In addition, as soon as a certain state is entered, only the information about the state remains while all information about how this state was reached is lost.” (Starns et al., 2018, p. 124).
