bayesian model
Definición
- The brain is constantly making predictions and decisions under uncertainty, trying to find an optimal response. An approach in cognitive science attempts to model this mode of functioning by using a formula developed by the British mathematician Thomas Bayes (1702-1761). In a nutshell, this formula evaluates the probability of an event as new information becomes known. The Bayesian approach is used to model many cognitive activities, including memory.
