The problem with machine learning is that it"s inflexible, like implicit learning/memory. If context or goal of a task changes, you"ll have to relearn the task again through trial and error: contrast to explicit memory formation: you can apply what you already know to new contexts. If you go through the brain, we can narrow our focus down on nodes. This lecture will be on the leading ideas of how explicit memory arises. According to some theories, episodic memories are generally always dependent on the: supported by hippocampal nodes interacting with the cortex, semantic/schematic information becomes permanently stored in the cortex in a.
