Interpretations For Memory's Uncertainty In Quantum Cognition

Memory is an important part of cognition process,which is changing with the lapse of time and the changes of environment.Thus,memory has significant uncertainty.Classical cognitive theory fails to explain memory's uncertainty effectively.The author believes it is feasible to introduce the theory of quantum cognition into the research of memory and use the ideas of quantum cognition to explore the quantum features presented in the memory process.This paper discussed the quantum effect in the uncertainty of memory process and memory states,and constructed the cognitive quantum model of memory's uncertainty.The thesis is divided into four parts:First of all,the uncertainty of memory process is explained by the correlation effect of quantum cognition theory.The quantum cognitive presupposition is different from the classical one.It is possible that quantum recognition can be applied to the memory research.The validity of quantum cognition in memory interpretation is proved by the explanation of quantum effects in the process of memory storage,memory construction and memory extraction.Secondly,we discuss the measurement and intention of memory uncertainty.Based on the use of “Process?” theory of Von Neumann,We know that the intention measurement plays a decisive role in memory state.And the uncertainty of memory is characterized by mathematical simulation.Next,we construct the quantum models for memory's uncertainty.Based on the memory uncertainty and the superposition of memory information,two quantum mathematical models are constructed,which are different from the traditional cognitive models.One is the OD model that explains the superposition memory,and the other is QEM model that explains the episodic superposition memory.The interpretation of fuzzy-trace theory(FTT)by the two models shows that the memory information is superposed,and the memory can interact with the episode.And paper compares the two models.Finally,it is important to review the significance of quantum cognition memory.It is believed that the introduction of quantum cognition theory for memory research can provide the quantum idea and method of for cognition research,and enrich cognitive theory of memory.
