p440fig12.37 Simulation of a primacy gradient for a short list (left image) being transformed into a bowed gradient for a longer list (right image). Activities of cells that store the longer list are smaller die to the Normalization Rule, which follows from the shunting inhibition in the working memory network.
|| Primacy bow as more items stored. [activities, final y] (Left) Primacy gradient 6 items (Right) Bowed gradient 20 items
