Auto Associator. In this paradigm a set of patterns are repeatedly presented and the system is supposed to "store" the patterns. Then, later, parts of one of the original patterns or possibly a pattern similar to one of the original patterns is presented, and the task is to "retrieve" the original pattern through a kind of pattern completion procedure. 3, record 1, English, - autoassociative%20memory

Pattern Associator. This paradigm is really a variant on the auto-association paradigm. A set of pairs of patterns are repeatedly presented. The system is to learn that when one member of the pair is presented it is supposed to produce the other. 2, record 3, English, - heteroassociative%20memory

Il serait plus précis de donner à ce type de mémoire le nom de mémoire autoassociative par opposition aux mémoires hétéroassociatives. Pour ces dernières, le système mémorise p couples de vecteurs et reproduit le (second) vecteur s'il est initialisé avec un vecteur suffisamment proche (du premier). 2, record 3, French, - m%C3%A9moire%20h%C3%A9t%C3%A9ro%2Dassociative
