Long-term
memory can exist in various states
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
of activation
including (at least):
|
|
|
|
inactive,
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
primed
(ready for use), and
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
active
(immediately accessible).
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Memory
is associative and productive.
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Activating
one element leads, with some probability,
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
to the
activation of associated elements.
|
|
|
The
activation of a memory often contains data,
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
reasoning
elements, and mappings
|
|
|
of the memory
elements onto input structures.
|
|
|
Activation
and association are context dependent.
|
 |
|
|
|
|
What
is activated and subsequent activations
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
depend on the
context, both external and internal
|
|
|
(other activated
elements).
