Forming accurate memory of sequential stimuli is a fundamental function of biological agents. However, the computational mechanism underlying sequential memory in the brain remains unclear. Inspired by neuroscience theories and recent successes in applying predictive coding (PC) to static memory tasks, in this work we…

Introduction Behaviors often involve a sequence of events, and learning and reproducing it is essential for sequential memory. Brain loop structures refer to loop-shaped inter-regional connection structures in the brain such as cortico-basal ganglia-thalamic and cortico-cerebellar loops. They are thought to play a…

Sequence learning is a fundamental cognitive function of the brain. However, the ways in which sequential information is represented and memorized are not dealt with satisfactorily by existing models. To overcome this deficiency, this paper introduces a spiking neural network based on psychological and neurobiological…

Memory is an intricate process involving various faculties of the brain and is a central component in human cognition. However, the exact mechanism that brings about memory in our brain remains elusive and the performance of the existing memory models is not satisfactory. To overcome these problems, this paper puts…

Storing temporal sequences of events (i.e., sequence memory) is fundamental to many cognitive functions. However, it is unknown how the sequence order information is maintained and represented in working memory and its behavioral significance, particularly in human subjects. We recorded electroencephalography (EEG) in…

when and where within a sequence: The time-course of acquiring serial position-item and item-item associations to represent serial order Authors: ['Nicolas W. Schuck' 'Robert Gaschler' 'Peter A. Frensch'] Much research has been conducted aimed at the representations and mechanisms that enable learning of sequential…

Sequences are ubiquitous in our lives, yet mysterious and difficult to research because of many confounds. The research topic “What next: The Cognition of Sequences” aimed to understand sequencing behavior by gathering theoretical and empirical articles showcasing current views. Gratifyingly, contributions not only…

'Huanglong Li' 'Sen Song' 'Jing Pei' 'Luping Shi'] Chunking refers to a phenomenon whereby individuals group items together when performing a memory task to improve the performance of sequential memory. In this work, we build a bio-plausible hierarchical chunking of sequential memory (HCSM) model to explain why such…

Sequential working memory, the ability to actively maintain sequential information, is essential for human cognition. The neural representation of each item in sequential working memory is thought to be activated rhythmically within the theta (3-7 Hz) range of human electrophysiology. In the current study, we predicted…

Sequential transitions between metastable states are ubiquitously observed in the neural system and underlying various cognitive functions such as perception and decision making. Although a number of studies with asymmetric Hebbian connectivity have investigated how such sequences are generated, the focused sequences…

Lashley () rejected the notion that sequential behavior was accounted for by simple reflex chaining and argued instead for cognitive encoding of hierarchical plans. This notion contributed to the development of cognitive research in both human and non-human animals which continues to this day. Recently, Rosenbaum et…

Recent advances in mechanical computing have harnessed bistable mechanisms with intrinsic memory to extend the scope of physically embodied intelligence, enabling history-dependent behavior. However, existing mechanical computing architectures largely fail to integrate mechanically encoded memory with the logic…

The present study examined how making judgments of learning (JOLs) vs. not making judgments of learning (no-JOLs) influences item and sequential memory in collaborative contexts. According to the item-order hypothesis, making JOLs improves memory for specific items (i.e., item memory) but disrupts sequential memory…

Nonvolatile memory technologies in Si-based electronics date back to the 1990s. Ferroelectric field-effect transistor (FeFET) was one of the most promising devices replacing the conventional Flash memory facing physical scaling limitations at those times. A variant of charge storage memory referred to as Flash memory…
