The role of memory in affirming-the-consequent fallacy by Yoko Higuchi, Ethan Oblak, Hiroko Nakamura, Makiko Yamada, Kazuhisa Shibata

“…Here, we provide evidence suggesting a reconsideration of this account using an implicit memory paradigm, which minimizes the involvement of explicit reasoning. Specifically, we tested a two-stage memory model: (1) when a sequence of events is encoded, the memory of the reversed sequence is formed, resulting in the affirming-the-consequent fallacy, and (2) the memories of the forward and reversed sequences are integrated over time, reinforcing the fallacy. …”

Adaptively Implicit Advection for Atmospheric Flows by Hilary Weller, Christian Kühnlein, Piotr K. Smolarkiewicz

“…The demonstration in this paper uses the second‐order Runge‐Kutta implicit/explicit time integration in combination with a second/third‐order finite‐volume spatial discretization and is tested using deformation flow tracer advection on the sphere and a fully compressible model for atmospheric flows. …”

Ensemble learning for prediction of inorganic scale formation: A case study in Oman by Mohammed Talib Said Al Harrasi, Alireza Kazemi, Reza Yousefzadeh

“…By integrating the predictions of the individual experts using the PLEM method, the F1-score increased to 90.3% on the test subset. Moreover, a study was conducted to find out some rules of thumb for each input that cause scale formation, but the results showed that there was no explicit condition, indicating that scale formation is a complicated phenomenon requiring advanced modeling approaches. …”

Semantic surprise predicts the N400 brain potential by Alma Lindborg, Lea Musiolek, Dirk Ostwald, Milena Rabovsky

“…A commonly studied electrophysiological measure of on-line meaning related processing is the N400 component, the computational basis of which is still actively debated. Here, we test one of the recently proposed, computationally explicit hypotheses on the N400 – namely, that it reflects surprise with respect to a probabilistic representation of the semantic features of the current stimulus in a given context. …”
