Answer 1

Representation space is defined as all representations such as texts to be perceived via the semantic lens are systematized in the representation space with a definite number of magnitudes. A representation can be positioned by its forecasts at the dimensions.

A memory system whose purpose is to detect words and objects, permitting speedy recognition of formerly experienced stimuli or reactions. As a result, perceptions are precisely recognized in the form previously encountered, such as a word as heard vs. a word as seen.
