Which theory of memory is most closely connected to Neural Network models?

  1. Connectionist Theory

  2. Eleborative Rehearsal

  3. Chunking Theory

  4. Levels-of-Processing Theory

The correct answer is: Connectionist Theory

Neural network models are a type of connectionist theory, which emphasizes the role of connections between neurons and how they can lead to learning and memory. This theory is different from chunking theory, which focuses on grouping information into larger, more meaningful chunks, and elaborative rehearsal, which involves making connections between new information and previously stored memories. Levels-of-processing theory suggests that deeper processing of information leads to better memory, but it is not specifically connected to neural network models.
