We update complementary learning systems (CLS) theory, which holds that intelligent
agents must possess two learning systems, instantiated in mammalians in neocortex and�…

Memorization and generalization are complementary cognitive processes that jointly
promote adaptive behavior. For example, animals should memorize safe routes to specific�…

According to complementary learning systems theory, integrating new memories into the
neocortex of the brain without interfering with what is already known depends on a gradual�…

This paper reviews the fate of the central ideas behind the complementary learning systems
(CLS) framework as originally articulated in McClelland, McNaughton, and O'Reilly (1995)�…

The complementary learning systems framework provides a simple set of principles, derived
from converging biological, psychological and computational constraints, for understanding�…

The complementary learning systems theory of the roles of hippocampus and neocortex
(McClelland, McNaughton, & O'Reilly, 1995) holds that the rapid integration of arbitrary new�…

The stability–plasticity problem (ie how the brain incorporates new information into its model
of the world, while at the same time preserving existing knowledge) has been at the forefront�…

A growing literature suggests that the hippocampus is critical for the rapid extraction of
regularities from the environment. Although this fits with the known role of the hippocampus�…

From the traditional perspective of associative learning theory, the hypothesis linking
modifications of synaptic transmission to learning and memory is plausible. It is less so from�…

Neural activity during cognitive tasks exhibits complex dynamics that flexibly encode task-
relevant variables. Chaotic recurrent networks, which spontaneously generate rich�…
