Learning and memory are inextricable.

AI Article Synopsis

  • The authors are focused on developing learning algorithms that are more aligned with biological systems and can function effectively in real-world situations.
  • They emphasize that human learning and memory are deeply connected and that a significant portion of human learning happens unconsciously.
  • The argument suggests that understanding how people enhance their learning abilities over time requires addressing both the interrelation of learning and memory, as well as the unconscious aspects of human learning.

Article Abstract

The authors' aim is to build "more biologically plausible learning algorithms" that work in naturalistic environments. Given that, first, human learning and memory are inextricable, and, second, that much human learning is unconscious, can the authors' first research question of how people improve their learning abilities over time be answered without addressing these two issues? I argue that it cannot.
