The power integration diffusion model for production breaks

Sikström, Sverker LU orcid and Jaber, Mohamad Y. (2002) In Journal of Experimental Psychology: Applied 8(2). p.118-126
Abstract

The learning curve during repetitive production and the associated forgetting during production breaks are fundamental issues in the understanding of behavior. A model is suggested that combines 3 basic findings, namely, that single memory traces decay according to a power function of the retention interval, that aggregated memory traces can be combined by integration, and that the time to produce a unit can be described by a diffusion process on the memory trace. This power integration diffusion model is validated with empirical data, and the result fits better than 14 other published forgetting models.
