Some Pyshcological Properties of Memories
- As a firing CA is the neural correlate of a short-term memory,
it should behave like a memory.
- One property of short-term memories is that they decay over
time.
- That is, they become less active.
- This is inconsistent with our earlier simulation results.
- How can we make these CAs decay over a short period of time (seconds).
- Other issues include reactivation of memory.
- Associative memories.
- Number of items in memory.
- Note that we assume that the activity of a memory is a consequence
of the number of neurons firing in the CA that represents
that memory.
