Interpreting Two Psychological Functions by A Hierarchically Structured Neural Memory Model

Abstract

In this paper, a novel neural memory model is proposed. The neural memory model proposed in this paper is based upon generalized regression neural networks (GRNNs) which are the paradigms of radial basis function neural networks (RBF-NNs). With the benefit of their quick learning capability and robustness, the application of GRNNs has been rapidly increased in many disciplines. Then, within the context of a newly proposed hierarchically arranged generalized regression neural network (HA-GRNN), two psychological functions, intuition and attention, are interpreted in terms of the evolution of the HA-GRNN. Within the framework of HA-GRNN, two types of memory, namely both the long and short term memory motivated from biological and cognitive studies, are considered and a dynamic learning system is thus proposed. In the simulation study, the effectiveness of the HA-GRNN in comparison with k-means clustering method is confirmed within the context of pattern classification tasks.
