Estimated zero-delay performance (left) and performance half-life (right) in DMTST across species.
Performance half-life is defined as the delay for which performance drops from its zero-delay value to a value halfway toward chance performance. Open circles are species medians. Empirical data are taken from [30]. We observe significant differences in the rate of forgetting (performance half-life) between individual networks, a trend that we also observe between individual animals (or experiments) within the empirical data. While the median mnemonic performance of our networks is lower than the median performance of most species in [30], our high-performing networks still outperform a significant number of individual monkeys, rodents, and birds, suggesting that our cognitive networks operate in a biologically plausible WM regime.
