Memory Change in Communication Agent

Abstract

This paper proposes an oblivion model concerning episode memory for communication agents. First, the subjects were instructed to listen to a certain sentence, immediately after which they were asked to freely describe the content. Moreover, one month after this event, the subjects were once again asked to describe the content, and their status of oblivion (quantity, quality) was investigated using the number of characters and idea units. The oblivion model for the communication agent was generated using the results of this investigation. Based on the results of the experiment it was presumed that, immediately after hearing the sentence it was appropriate to extract the content uniformly from the whole text, whereas after one month it was appropriate to extract the content centered around the main theme of the text.
