Trade-off Between Capacity and Generalization in a Model of Memory

Although computational considerations suggest that a resource-limited memory system may have to trade off capacity for generalization ability, such a trade-off has not been demonstrated in the past.We describe a simple model of memory that exhibits this trade-off and describe its performance in a variety of tasks.
