Knowledge is commonly socially constructed, through collaborative efforts towards shared objectives or by dialogues and challenges brought about by different persons' perspectives.

Detweiler, Mark and Schneider, Walter (1987): A Connectionist/Control Architecture for Working Memory and Workload: Why Working Memory is Not 7+/-2. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 31st Annual Meeting 1987. pp. 684-688.

A runnable simulation architecture for working memory is described that provides an alternative to existing models of working memory, e.g., of Atkinson&Shiffrin (1968) and Baddeley (1986). It is used to interpret a variety of phenomena, including multiple resources, workload, chunking, sequential output, skilled and episodic memories, and stages of skill acquisition. The architecture is based on a set of modules organized into regions which communicate with each other on an inner loop of processing. A new feature of this architecture is a proposed context-storage module that temporarily stores context information in fast changing connection weights. This enables the system to expand effective working memory beyond the traditional 7+/-2 items. The context storage system is able to reload modules after short-term information decays or is displaced; in addition, it provides a means of achieving stable, robust processing under conditions of high workload.
