Abstract
Goertzel's (1994b) review points out that the episodic
memory model of DISCERN (Miikkulainen, 1993, 1994) lacks certain
fundamental properties of human memory, such as a capability for
reorganization, and suggests that the distinction between memory
and processing must be eliminated. His points are well taken, but
in light of the emerging understanding of the episodic memory
system in the brain, I will argue that such a distinction is
justified.
