Associative Memories

Associative memories work by recalling information in response to an information cue. Associative memories can be autoassociative or heteroassociative. Autoassociative memories recall the same information that is used as a cue, which can be useful to complete a partial pattern. Heteroassociative memories are useful as a memory. Human long-term memory is thought to be associative because of the way in which one thought retrieved from it leads to another. When we want to store a new item of information in our long term memory it typically takes us 8 seconds to store an item that can’t be associated with a pre-stored item, but only one or two seconds, if there is an existed information structure with which to associate the new item.
