שחזור הקשר הזמני מניע זיכרון סדרי אפיזודי במודלים של שפה בעלי הקשר ארוך

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2607.22575v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Human episodic memory supports the retrieval of experiences that unfold over extended timescales, yet the computational mechanisms underlying this ability remain debated due to the limited mechanistic accessibility in long-term memory experiments in humans. Long-context LLMs may offer promising ways to reveal plausible computational mechanisms that drive this type of retrieval. Here, we investigate whether and how LLMs capture the core behavioral signatures of episodic memory via a temporal order memory task. Using a new dataset of human behavior based on memory of a full-length novel, we show that models exhibit the same characteristic distance effect observed in humans on this task. We next apply long-context mechanistic interpretability an
