A memristor-based circuit design of pavlov associative memory with secondary conditional reflex and its application.

The existing Pavlov associative memory circuit only realizes the simple conditioned reflex process, secondary conditional reflex can make the simple conditioning process more complicated and make the circuit more bionic, but there is a lack of relevant circuit implementation. In this paper, a Pavlov associative memory circuit with secondary conditional reflex is proposed by utilizing the memristor. The proposed circuit can respond to a conditional stimulus after initial learning and have two kinds of forgetting process. Besides, this circuit can indirectly establish conditioned reflexes through conditioned stimuli, instead of directly establishing conditioned reflex with unconditioned stimulus. The realization of secondary conditional reflex is confirmed in the PSPICE simulation results. Meanwhile, an extended classification circuit based on secondary conditioned reflex is proposed. Based on the features of objects as input, the output of the circuit is used to achieve the function of classification. The accuracy of application circuit proposed in this paper can be verified by the simulation results in PSPICE. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
