- 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.
