The contribution

Kohonen examined ways to store relationships and retrieve information from a partial cue. The book connected computer-oriented associative search with adaptive mappings and models of biological memory. It gave researchers a common mathematical setting for studying how a stored association can be recovered without supplying its exact address.

What this does not establish

The book brings several kinds of associative memory into one framework. They should not be treated as a single mechanism or as proof that every memory system behaves in the same way.

Why this date?
