Finding the repeating part of a signal

How do people "synchronize" to a periodic signal? In other words, given an oscillating auditory signal, how do people decide where the beat is? Assuming a "beat" divides a signal into equal repeating …

Difference between content-addressable memory and associative memory?

Often when I'm reading theoretical neuroscience publications, such as "Towards an integration of deep learning and neuroscience", as well as "Memory and the Computational Brain", theorists often mention … Is the Associative Memory often used in SPA-based models, such as the model used in "Biologically Plausible, Human-Scale Knowledge Representation", the same thing as a content-addressable memories? …

Cognitive Models of learning Working Memory usage

However, these aren't really analogous to how a cognitive systems learns how to use it's working memory. … Are there models of how working memory modules (where a saved value decays over time) can be learned to be optimally leveraged? Either via reinforcement learning or supervised learning? …

In ACT-R difference between declarative and working memory

In the papers, there are references to both declarative and working memory modules of ACT-R. What is the difference between these memory modules? … Is the only difference the allowed operations on this memory and thus their use? Are there also decay effects in working memory? …

Role of declarative memory in learning skill

In Neil Taatgen's paper on primitive information processing elements (PRIMs) he notes that as a result of saving the used PRIMs in declarative memory (which is fast) as opposed to procedural memory (which … This seems to be making two assumptions: Procedural memory is slower than declarative memory Declarative memory is important to building skills Are either of these assumptions true based on empirical …
