How can Cell Assemblies behave like a Psychological Memory?
- A Cell Assembly is the neural basis of a concept (Hebb 49),
and we use them in the CABots.
- A reverberating neural circuit is the basis of short-term memory,
and the formation of that circuit via Hebbian learning is the
long-term memory.
- Unfortunately, as we and others have modeled them they
are either on or off.
- How can short-term memories vary in strength over time? (Via
reduced neural firing.)
- How can short-term memories follow Psychological Memory curves?
- How can two long-term memories have different strength?
- How can a long-term memory vary in strength over time?
- How can CAs form more complex structures like semantic nets,
and cognitive maps?
