Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Rats' working memory for locations previously visited and not visited was tested on the radial maze. Trials consisted of a study phase followed by a test phase. In the study phase, rats were forced to visit half the arms on the maze, with the other half of the arms blocked. In the test phase, rats chose among all arms, with food found only on the arms not visited in the study phase. When different patterns of arms visited in the study phase were used, it was found that rats remembered an alternating pattern better than an adjacent pattern or a random pattern and that this effect became more pronounced at longer retention intervals. In addition, rats remembered isolated nonvisited arms in the random pattern that were sandwiched between visited arms better than nonvisited arms that were not isolated between visited arms. Several hypotheses were examined and tested to explain this isolation effect, but no clear theoretical account was found. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2019 APA, all rights reserved).

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
