Preferred term

Matrix model  

Definition

  • “a distributed associative model, [...] in which memories are encoded and stored as patterns of interconnections between the elements that define items in memory. More specifically, memories are associations that are uniquely defined by the matrix product of the item vectors. The episodic specificity of a memory is conveyed by its association with a context cue, also defined by a matrix product. All memories are superimposed (summated) in this representation so that, without appropriate cuing, their individual identities are lost“ (Humphreys et al. 1989, p. 209).
