Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The parallel distributed processing model of memory proposes that information is stored in a network that stretches across the brain and is processed simultaneously by multiple regions working in parallel. This is opposed to the idea that information is stored in isolated areas of the brain. Classically conditioned neurons across the neocortex play a role in this model, but the main emphasis is on the distributed nature of memory storage.
