In the use of articial neural networks (ANN) for real-life applications there is a need for determining the importance of each input variable for the decisions of the articial neural network. By comparing more complex ANN:s with the simple perceptron, a basic method to determine some form of importance is found. This is tested on three dierent datasets of which one is based on a real life dataset

Forskning har kunnat visa att aktiv framplockning av tidigare inlärda minnen kan hämma framplockning av konkurrerande minnen vilket leder till en framplockningsinducerad glömska, kallad retrieval-induced forgetting, RIF. Denna form av glömska tillskrivs ofta en kognitivt inhiberande process som aktiveras för att försvåra framplockning av icke relevanta konkurrerande minnen till förmån för underlätResearch has shown that active retrieval of previously learned memories can diminish retrieval of other concurring memories leading to what is known as retrieval-induced forgetting, RIF. This form of forgetting is often ascribed to a cognitive inhibition-process thought to be activated to reduce retrieval of not relevant concurring memories in favour of retrieval of sought after memories.
