- The same mathematical structure governs decay across physics, chemistry, biology, social dynamics, and information systems, an empirical regularity Wixted and Ebbesen (1991) demonstrated by showing that retention curves across humans and pigeons across recall, recognition, and matching-to-sample tasks all conform to a common power-law form.
This sourceEmpirical demonstration that retention curves across human recall, human face recognition, and pigeon delayed-matching-to-sample tasks all conform to a common power-law form; cross-substrate evidence that decay structure transfers across biological and cognitive domains.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
