Figure 12. Effects of associative learning on the state of the episodic memory at different times.

The thickness of the lines indicate the transition probabilities between different clips. (a) Initial network, before any percept has affected the agent, (b) State of the network after the agent has been trained (dotted arrows) with symbols of one color (red). (c) When the agent is presented with symbols of a different color (blue), the estabished links will direct the simulation process (probabilisically) to the previously “trained” region with well-developed links. This realizes a sort of associative memory.
