Models of Working Memory: The Soar Cognitive Architecture and Human Working Memory

(3) Soar does not currently include any capacity limits on its dynamic memory (SDM), but is compatible with certain such limitations. In particular, a constraint that SDM can hold at most two items of the same “type” (suitably defined) yields a coherent explanation for many psycholinguistic phenomena in the comprehension of sentences. This constraint is motivated by computational efficiency concerns, and embodies the general principle of similarity-based interference (Baddeley & Logie; Cowan; Schneider; and O’Reilly, Braver & Cohen — all in this volume).
