Great review, thanks for this! Associative memory is at the core of cognition machinery [0], I wish there was more attention to it, but it seems like memory modeling gathered quite a bit of dust since the 90s. All the resources went to learning algorithms and ANNs. In the human brain learning is just memory encoding, and that encoding is not an iterative trial and error process as conventional ANN model forces you to believe. We have made a bit of progress since Mccullough & Pitts, and Rosenblatt work. But the field is mostly stuck there in the 1940s-60s from the neuro- and cognitive modelling perspective. I've added most of the content on SDM page [1], you can find many related developments there. Also see [2] for some old and newer memory models.
