Associative memory
Appearance
Associative memory may refer to:
- Associative memory (psychology), the ability of human memory to associate items such as a person with his or her name
- Transderivational search in psychology or cybernetics, a search for a fuzzy match across a broad field
- Associative storage or content-addressable memory, a type of computer memory used in certain very high speed searching applications
- Bidirectional associative memory, a type of recurrent neural network
- Autoassociative memory, all computer memories that enable one to retrieve a piece of data from only a tiny sample of itself
- hetero-associative memory, all computer memories that enable one to retrieve a piece of data from a tiny sample of some other piece of data
- Associative Memory Base, computer memory which imitates human memory by storing connections and counts in their context
- Hopfield network, a form of recurrent artificial neural network
Associative memory
In the memory of associating two or more items, multiple cortical areas may be involved. For example, the human memorizes the image of a person and the sound of his or her name, the cortices of two sensory modalities, i.e., visual and auditory cortices, To address cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying associative memory, we need an animal model
