Preferred term

MINERVA 2  

Definition

  • "A simulation model of human memory. The model makes some assumptions: First, only episodic traces are stored in memory; second, repetition produces multiple traces of an item; third, a retrieval cue contacts all memory traces simultaneously; fourth, each trace is activated according to its similarity to the retrieval cue; five, all traces respond in parallel, the retrieved information reflecting their summed output. MINERVA 2 represents an attempt to account for data from both episodic and generic memory tasks within a single system. The theory underpinning the model is primarily concerned with long-term or secondary memory (SM) although it also assumes that there is a temporary working store or primary memory (PM) that communicates with SM." (Finotelli & Eustache, 2023, p. 10).
