An ordinal Language of Thought supports human memory for regular sequences
2026-05-15
Abstract excerpt
How do humans store sequences that far exceed working memory capacity? Using visuo-spatial and binary auditory sequences, we previously showed that a Language of Thought (LoT) architecture, in which simple primitives are recursively combined into hierarchical programs, enables efficient storage of structured sequences. Here we ask whether this principle extends to purely ordinal structure: sequences defined by how...
