Abstract

The traditional Pavlov associative memory circuit includes reinforcement and extinction in the classical conditioned reflex. In fact, in addition to the reinforcement and extinction, classical conditioned reflex is accompanied by several higher-order effects. The blocking process is a very common phenomenon in organisms, and it is one of the higher-order effects. In this paper, a circuit based on memristor is designed to realize blocking based on Pavlov’s associative memory. First of all, the circuit constructs a complete neural network circuit. The input neuron circuit composed of CMOS and other devices replaces the DC signal source and can generate pulse signals, making the circuit more bionic. Secondly, advanced neural activities such as learning memory, associative memory, and forgetting are realized. At the same time, the blocking process was realized on the basis of classical conditioned reflex, and the circuit successfully simulated the appearance and disappearance of the blocking phenomenon. Finally, the circuit simulation was carried out through PSPICE, and the simulation results proved the correctness of the circuit design.
