Psychological Background for The “4+1” Memory Model

Abstract:In this essay-like report I discuss psychological evidence giving reason for a five-element model of memory I call "4+1", as it consists of Procedural Memory, Filtering Memory, Semantic Memory, Episodic memory, and Working Memory, where the last one plays the pivotal role integrating all other ones. I argue that the "4+1" Memory Model is computational, modular, and evolutionary, hence, it can be a recommended canvas for artificial brain building.
