“Language, like most knowledge, relies mainly on memory and is represented in the brain by a network of connected meaning.” ~ David Rumelhart [link]
While at the University of California, San Diego, David Rumelhart developed the ‘adaptive structural network’ model for both encoding and retrieving information in long-term memory. According to his model, information is stored in a database and retrieved by an active interpretive process. Storage is a process of construction from a sensory-base whereas retrieval is a process of re-construction from a conceptual base [link]. David’s contributions influenced my field of study; he informed the direction I took and the decisions I made. He will be missed.
