If you're interested in memory at somewhat higher level of abstraction check out the recent work on "cognitive maps". It started decades ago with seminal work on place & grid cells in spatial navigation ( https:/&#x2

spatial cognitive maps used for navigation are extendable to arbitrarily high dimensional spaces for abstract concept representation, using pretty much the same machinery. There is a ton of work on this, both theory and empirical evidence,

I suggest starting with the works by Howard Eichenbaum on memory and Edvard & May-Britt Moser (and John O'Keefe and Lynn Nadel) on place & grid cells. For the latest and greatest see https://twitter.com/doelle

we know a lot about memory, but most AI researchers are simply ignorant in neuroscience or cognitive psychology and stick with their comfort zone. Saying "we have no idea" is just being lazy.

as long as the model requires delta rule, or 'teacher signal' based error correction it is not biologically plausible.
