Abstract:
A recent proposal for an elemental account of associative learning phenomena is the replaced-elements model (REM) put forward by Wagner (2003). Although the ideas underlying this model are comparatively simple, implementation of the model is rather complex. In this article, we present Rapid-REM, a MATLAB simulator of Wagner's model. Rapid-REM features a graphical user interface for manipulating all essential parameter values and for control of the simulation process, graphical visualization of the simulation course and the results, and the alternative possibility of simulating the replaced-elements model as it was originally proposed (Wagner & Brandon, 2001). Rapid-REM is available free of charge from www.staff.uni-marburg.de/(tilde)lachnit/Rapid-REM/. This simulator makes it easy to derive predictions for REM and evaluate them, and it will therefore facilitate insights into the mechanisms of associative learning.
