Brain Architecture for an Intelligent Stream of Consciousness - Brain Theory from a Circuits and Systems Perspective - page 29

3. Explain briefly why the following components are important to humans.
STM (HINT: For second-to-second living and consciousness)
LTM (HINT: For knowledge, intelligence, learning from past experiences)
Cue editor (HINT: For survivability, to guard against memory blocks)
Recall referee (HINT: For survivability, to avoid confusion and focus only on
high-priority returns from LTM)
4. Explain what a cue editor does? (HINT: A cue editor keeps track of cues that fail
to create a return, and changes them a few at a time in an attempt to make them
work.)
5. Explain what a recall referee does? (HIINT: A recall referee computes a priority
value for each image returned for a given set of cues, and permits only the
highest priority image into conscious STM.)
6. What is meant by a memory-based system? (HINT: All possible responses and
knowledge relate to LTM.)
7. Describe three categories of brain decision making. (HINT: Past experiences,
random choices, inspired choices)
