SIMPLE memory model — interactive toy

Relative distinctiveness model with order + item dimensions; Luce choice + logistic omissions.

Items in historical order, one per line: “name, item value”

Model parameters

Equations (Neath, 2010): similarity η(i,j)=exp(−c·(W_O·|O_i−O_j| + W_G·|G_i−G_j|)), with O = ln(order); Luce choice P(i|j)=η(i,j)/∑_k η(j,k); omissions P_out=1/(1+e^{−s·(P−t)}).

Sample data: Google page hits from the paper’s Appendix ÷ 10,000,000 (e.g., Washington 19,300,000 → 1.93), for the 41 presidents in Crowder (1993), with the Simulation 1 parameters from Table 1.
