We investigate a method for formulating context- and task-
specific computational models of human performance in a con-
strained semantic memory task. In particular, we assume that
memory retrieval can only use a simple process – a random
walk – and examine whether the effect of context and task
specifications can be captured via a straightforward network
estimation method that is sensitive to context and task. We find
that a random walk model on the context-specific networks
mimics aggregate human performance.
