'''Sparse distributed memory''' is a mathematical model of human long-term memory that was introduced by [[Pentti Kanerva]] in 1988. It is used for storing and retrieving large amounts(<math>2^(1000)</math> [[bits]]) of information without focusing on the accuracy of the information. It uses patterns to serve as [[Memory address|memory addresses]], where information is retrieved based on similarities between addresses. Memory addresses are all in a list even if they are not related, but are only retrieved based on similar content between themselves.<ref name=book>{{cite book|last=Kanerva|first=Pentti|title=Sparse Distributed Memory|year=1988|publisher=The MIT Press|isbn=978-0262111324}}</ref>
