- At equation length 5: NLM ~0.95, CNN-DNC ~0.85, CNN-BiLSTM ~0.80.
- At equation length 25: NLM ~0.90, CNN-DNC ~0.65, CNN-BiLSTM ~0.60.
#### Panel B: Perception Accuracy Over Iterations
- **Trends**:
- DBA Tasks (red) start at ~0.5 and rise to ~0.9 by iteration 60.
- RBA Tasks (teal) start at ~0.7 and plateau near ~0.85.
- **Key Data Points**:

- Iteration 60: DBA ~0.9, RBA ~0.85.
#### Panel C: Perception vs. Equation Accuracy
- **Trends**:
- Consistent Trials (red) cluster near the diagonal (high correlation).
- Inconsistent Trials (teal) scatter widely, with lower equation accuracy for similar perception accuracy.
- **Key Data Points**:
- Consistent Trials: Perception ~0.8–0.9 → Equation ~0.7–0.9.
- Inconsistent Trials: Perception ~0.6–0.8 → Equation ~0.4–0.7.
#### Panel D: Perception Transfer Task
- **Trends**:
- NLM with Transfer (red) starts at ~0.9, dips to ~0.5 by iteration 6, then rises to ~0.8.
- NLM without Transfer (teal) starts at ~0.4, fluctuates, and ends at ~0.6.
- **Key Data Points**:
- Iteration 2: With Transfer ~0.9, Without ~0.4.
- Iteration 18: With Transfer ~0.8, Without ~0.6.
#### Panel E: Knowledge Transfer Task
- **Trends**:
- NLM with Transfer (red) shows volatile but upward trend, reaching ~0.9 by iteration 60.
- NLM without Transfer (teal) remains stable at ~0.6–0.7.
- **Key Data Points**:
- Iteration 10: With Transfer ~0.7, Without ~0.6.
- Iteration 60: With Transfer ~0.9, Without ~0.7.
### Key Observations
1. **Model Performance**: NLM consistently outperforms other models in equation learning (Panel A) and benefits most from perception/knowledge transfer (Panels D–E).
2. **Perception-Equation Correlation**: Consistent trials show strong alignment between perception and equation accuracy (Panel C), while inconsistent trials reveal significant variability.
3. **Transfer Effects**: Perception transfer improves initial performance but stabilizes over time (Panel D). Knowledge transfer leads to sustained accuracy gains (Panel E).
4. **Baseline Comparison**: Random Guess (Panel A) remains near the 0.5 accuracy threshold, highlighting the models' effectiveness.
### Interpretation
- **Model Efficacy**: NLM’s superior performance suggests it is better suited for complex equation learning tasks, possibly due to its architecture or training strategy.
- **Perception-Equation Link**: The scatter plot (Panel C) indicates that perception accuracy alone does not fully determine equation accuracy, especially in inconsistent trials.
- **Transfer Mechanisms**: Perception transfer provides a short-term boost, while knowledge transfer enables long-term learning, as seen in the steady improvement in Panel E.
- **Anomalies**: The dip in Panel D (iteration 6) for NLM with Transfer may reflect a learning phase or task-specific challenges.
This analysis underscores the importance of task-specific model selection and the role of transfer learning in enhancing performance across perceptual and cognitive tasks.
