• Ability to encode, store, recall information
and experience.
• They have distinct responsibility, structure
and processing mechanism.
• Sensory Memory
• Iconic memory buffers visual senses
• Echoic memory for hearing
• Haptic memory for touch
• Short-term Memory
• Working Memory/Workspace
• Medium-term Memory
• Long-term Memory

 Synaptic consolidation:
9

-Which occurs within the first few hours after learning.

- It is such form of memory consolidation seen across all
species and long-term memory tasks.
System consolidation

-Where hippocampus dependent memories become

independent of the hippocampus over a period of
weeks to years.
- It is slower then synaptic consolidation.

by Baddeley & Hitch, 1974
• Magical Number 7 plus 2 minus 2 by Miller,
1956
• Baddeley A. D., The Episodic Buffer: A New
Component of Working Memory?, 2000
• Propose a conceptual model of a memory
system for a traffic controlling agent (TCA).
Your design should consider following
parameters
• TCA should be designed for performance with
real-time responses
• The environment consists of static, dynamic and
semi-strategic profiles
• Should be capable of optimizing priorities for
VIP transportation and ambulances.
