Pointers to work on AdaptiveMemory here.
- Key paper by our MPG project partners on the adaptiveness of human memory. Can similar mechanisms be deployed for triple stores?
- Another good paper giving an overview of their work, with enticing sections such as "visions of rationality", "ignorance-based decision making" and the "less-is-more effect".

- The two key books by their group are:
The Adaptive Toolbox, on Amazon
and Simple heuristics that make us smart, on Amazon - A paper using the results of the Berlin group on "Rational Analysis" to explain why certain things do an don't work in Information Retrieval:
Steyvers, M. & Griffiths, T.L. (in press). Rational Analysis as a Link between Human Memory and Information Retrieval. In N. Chater and M Oaksford (Eds.) The Probabilistic Mind: Prospects from Rational Models of Cognition. Oxford University Press.
