Spontaneous, asynchronous, and slow activity of memory sets

Spontaneous, asynchronous, and slow activity of memory sets 

Here the top element weakly activates its basic elements one after the other. The sequence of basic elements is accidental. This may be referred to as the top element scans its basic elements or it searches on its basic elements. All the different spontaneously active memory sets are asynchronous to each other. 

Such a spontaneous activity preserves the structural integrity (synapses and neurons) of the memory set. A decrease of spontaneous activity deteriorates the structure, some elements may break away and the memory set desintegrates.lt is possible that the frequency of the spontaneously active memory sets represents its importance within the whole structure ( = personality) That means there would exist many different spontaneous frequencies. 

Consequences of the slow spontaneous asynchronous activity of task sets 

The spontaneity of the task set has some important consequences for the performance of a task. The subject s response is faster because the top-down relation of the first searching cycle does not appear in the reaction time because it is simultaneous to the afferent weak activation of the stimulus element. This activation of the stimulus element is considered as part of the linear pathway. The last bottom-up relation of the first search is simultaneous to the (2,3 - 5) motor relation. Therefore only (n-2) cycET are really observable as the length of the cyclical pathway.
