Abstract

A model of memory incorporating several unusual features is discussed. It is assumed that stored traces are added together in a common storage array. When the recovery system is presented with an input pattern, three reasonable demands may be made of the storage array for the memory system to be useful: has anything similar to the input pattern been stored previously (recognition); what are the significant differences between the input pattern and the stored pattern (reconstruction); what other stored patterns are similar to the input pattern (association). Methods of meeting these demands are discussed. A numerical example embodying these concepts is presented.
