The Snoopy Curve
- Thoughts last after the stimulation is gone.
- Somehow, the circuitry must remain active, after
the initial stimulus.
- Snoopy Curve
- After an initial burst of activation, the circuit remains active.
(Ignition of the CA [Braitenburg])
- The continued activation is lower, but is still above baseline.
- That activation gradually decays.
- If there is not enough initial activation, the circuit is not activated. The concept is not activated.
- This also aids in learning. That is, this activation curve
strengthens the CA.
