Neisser coined 'repisodic' memory in his 1981 John Dean paper, defining it as neither 'semantic' nor 'episodic' in Tulving's sense

Repisodic memory constructs one apparent episode out of a repeated series of events — distinct from remembering a single episode's gist

A neural network can forget along a graceful, human-like power-law curve — not only catastrophically — when feature overlap preserves the trace

The spacing effect can emerge unbidden from gradient descent: self-lengthening review intervals appeared in an MLP no one designed for them

Neural networks can forget along a human-like power-law curve — and the 1885 spacing effect re-emerges inside them

Neisser checked John Dean's Watergate testimony against the Nixon tapes and found the details wrong but the gist right — coining 'repisodic' memory

Portelli found Terni workers' oral memory relocated Luigi Trastulli's 1949 killing to 1953 — and argued the error was itself the finding

In 1981 an oral historian and a cognitive psychologist independently concluded that testimony can be wrong in its details yet accurate in its deeper shape

Verify against Portelli's primary text: the 1949→1953 date displacement in the Trastulli oral testimonies and the exact quote

Two 1981 papers, two unrelated fields: an oral historian and a cognitive psychologist both concluded that testimony's factual errors don't erase its deeper accuracy

Bjork 1994 frames "desirable difficulties" as conditions of practice and effortful retrieval — not as prediction error; the phrase is absent from the primary text

Does Bjork (1994) argue that spacing/interleaving force prediction errors at a higher rate, and does the text support the SEEK model's restructuring-trigger reading?
