As a cognitive psychologist, I highly suspected that, broadly speaking, this was the needed direction for AI. See Fuzzy Trace Theory[1]. Fuzzy Trace Theory basically suggests that memory (and cognition generally) works at multiple levels spanning verbatim representations to gist-level representations, that get bound together into memories. Recalling gist, the general idea, along with specific details, allows for powerful generalization and flexible retrieval pathways.
