Interface IPerceptualMemory

All Superinterfaces:

IParameterized

All Known Subinterfaces:

IAuralMemory, IVisualMemory

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractPerceptualMemory, DefaultAuralMemory, DefaultVisualMemory

public interface IPerceptualMemory
extends IParameterized

general interface for a short-term perceptual store that supports searching for "index" chunks that can then be used to direct attending and encoding to actual percepts. This is the basis for both the aural and visual systems.
