A Cognitive Model for Generalization during Sequential Learning

Table 2

Mean and standard error of SSE ratios for Base Task, when different interfering tasks were used. The first row gives the ratio for a BP network, the second row for a Leabra network with contextual cues of strength 1.0, the third row for a Leabra network with contextual cues of strength 0.35, and the fourth row for a Leabra network trained in an interleaved manner for the two tasks. A smaller ratio signifies more savings.

Network	5 Patterns Same	10 Patterns Same
BP	1.269 (± 0.0242)	0.841 (± 0.0425)
Context = 1.0	0.196 (± 0.0606)	0.144 (± 0.0457)
Context = 0.35	0.147 (± 0.0350)	0.108 (± 0.0168)
Interleaved	0.000 (± 0.0000)	0.000 (± 0.0000)
