Preferred term

Composite Holographic Associative Recall Model  

Definition

  • A model of associative memory “based on the idea that items, represented as distributed patterns of features or as vectors, are associated by the operation of convolution. The results are stored by being added into a composite trace and hence "blended" or superimposed. Retrieval occurs by the operation of correlation, which results in a noisy and sometimes systematically distorted output. That output, in recall, is then matched to all of the items in a lexicon, and the best match wins and is given as the recalled item.“ (Metcalfe, 1990, p. 147).
