We used several measures to characterize working memory performance: the total number of choices to find the goal(s), a measure of overall task performance; the number of correct choices before erring, an estimate of memory capacity; and the number of errorless trials, a measure of perfect memory.
Sixteen out of the 540 pairs had at least one of their genes longer than 5 kb and identity were not estimated because of memory consumption.
In addition, the digit span subtest was administered to obtain an estimate of working memory (digit span backward score).
The length of the longest list a person can remember in this fashion was that person's digit span and was an estimate of working memory [ 34, 35].
The average half time of Whi5 nuclear entry, which is an estimate of the memory length in the mathematical model (Supplementary file 1A), is 13.7 min in mother cells and 10.6 min in daughter cells, respectively.
To estimate the amount of memory subjects allocated in the different experimental conditions we analyzed the number of model visits per trial and the number of consecutive 'high-memory' cycles after the initial model visit (Figure 5b and c).
A self-report is not an optimal method for estimating the degree of memory impairment in a population.
However, the points estimates of associations with memory impairment were of comparable magnitude for all PFAAs except PFOA for which the association with memory impairment was close to null (OR=0.99 (0.97 to 1.03); table 4).
They collected estimates of computer time, memory usage and quality of the alignments.
He used this method to derive estimates of these aspects of memory in an encoding specificity experiment similar to that reported by D.M. Thomson and E. Tulving (1970) [Associative encoding and retrieval: weak and strong cues. Journal of Experimental Psychology, 86, 255 262].
