Autoassociative memory

Autoassociative memory is like a game of memory. It is a type of artificial intelligence that helps machines to remember things. The way it works is that it stores information in its memory like a game of memory. This means that if it is given a certain piece of information, it can remember it and figure out how the pieces all fit together. So it can remember the details of a picture, for example, or a set of words.
