Where did I put my glasses? Determining trustfulness of records in episodic memory by means of an associative network

Abstract

Episodic memory represents personal history of an entity. Human-like agents with a full episodic memory are able to reconstruct their personal stories to a large extent. Since these agents typically live in dynamic environ-ments that change beyond their capabilities, their memory must cope with de-termining trustfulness of memory records. In this paper, we propose an associa-tive network addressing this issue with regard to records about objects an agent met during its live. The network is presently being implemented into our case-study human-like agent with a full episodic memory. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.
