A Schema-Associative Model of Memory
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper* describes an innovative model of long term memory (SALT -Schema-Associative Long Term memory). It also presents an implementation of the SALT model, a specification of an agent, and some scenarios of interactions with the agent. The model presented has its roots in two of the most important general theories of human memory, namely the associative network theory and the schema-based theory. The main advantage of the SALT model is its capability of generating context-dependent cognition. The examples selected for illustrating the functioning of the implementation were chosen from the field of personnel evaluation.

Associative learning and memory duration of Trichogramma brassicae
Learning ability and memory duration are two inseparable factors which can increase theefficiency of a living organism during its lifetime. Trichgramma brassice Bezdenko (Hym.:Trichogrammatidae) is a biological control agent widely used against different pest species.This research was conducted to study the olfactory associative learning ability and memoryduration of T. brassicae under laborato...
متن کاملComparisons of models of associative recall.
We tested three mathematical models of associative recall that differ in the assumed structure of the memory trace (direct or indirect connections between parts) and the interdependence of the connections (independent or correlated). The three models compared are the "horizontal" model with direct, independent connections, the "schema" model with indirect, independent connections, and the "frag...
متن کاملConsolidation Differentially Modulates Schema Effects on Memory for Items and Associations
Newly learned information that is congruent with a preexisting schema is often better remembered than information that is incongruent. This schema effect on memory has previously been associated to more efficient encoding and consolidation mechanisms. However, this effect is not always consistently supported in the literature, with differential schema effects reported for different types of mem...
متن کاملInitial investigation of the effects of an experimentally learned schema on spatial associative memory in humans.
Networks of interconnected neocortical representations of prior knowledge, "schemas," facilitate memory for congruent information. This facilitation is thought to be mediated by augmented encoding and accelerated consolidation. However, it is less clear how schema affects retrieval. Rodent and human studies to date suggest that schema-related memories are differently retrieved. However, these s...
متن کاملSchema-driven facilitation of new hierarchy learning in the transitive inference paradigm.
Prior knowledge, in the form of a mental schema or framework, is viewed to facilitate the learning of new information in a range of experimental and everyday scenarios. Despite rising interest in the cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying schema-driven facilitation of new learning, few paradigms have been developed to examine this issue in humans. Here we develop a multiphase experimental s...
