The Ultima Memoria (UM)Cognitive Performance Infrastructure

Core Idea

Ultima Memoria (UM) opens up new approaches to learning by defining the memory capabilities outlined below as measurable parameters.

The Cognitive Performance Infrastructure

The Ultima Memoria (UM) learning system captures memory across its central performance dimensions. It assesses memory performance in terms of capacity, speed, form of expression and precision, long-term stability, degree of recall and reproduction, measurability, and practical value.

The Ultima Memoria (UM) Memory Conception

1. 01Increase in memory capacity
2. 02Increase in memory speed
3. 03Increase in the form of expression and precision of memory
4. 04Increase in long-term memory
5. 05Degree of recall and reproduction of memory
6. 06Measurability of memory
7. 07Practical value of memory
8. 08Learning and memory methods
9. 09Practical value of learning and memory methods
10. 10Anatomy and physiology of memory

Ultima Memoria (UM) — Extract from the Summary

1. 01The capacity of retention — is measurably increased by a factor of (n)
2. 02The speed of memorisation and recall — is measurably increased by a factor of (n)
3. 03The form of expression and precision of memory — is measurably increased by a factor of (n)
4. 04Long-term memory — is measurably increased by a factor of (n)

Memory is captured as a measurable parameter. Ultima Memoria (UM) regards the degrees of recall and reproduction as constant functions of time. Repetition of what has been learned is not, or scarcely, necessary.

System Comparison

The system comparison situates Ultima Memoria (UM) within the broader spectrum of classical, modern and Ultima Memoria (UM)-specific conceptions of memory, intelligence and learning systems. It shows the criteria by which memory performances are assessed and clarifies how Ultima Memoria (UM) differs from earlier approaches.

At the centre of this comparison are the measurability of memory, its capacity, speed, the form of expression and precision of reproduction, the temporal availability of retained information, and the relationship between memory and intelligence.

1.|Memory and Intelligence|Memory

1.1 Classical Conception of Memory | Summary

• Memory was not captured, or only partially captured.
• Memory was not captured as a measurable parameter.
• The degrees of recall and reproduction are variable functions of time and therefore time-dependent. As a rule, repeated revision of what has been learned is necessary at certain time intervals.

1.2 Modern Conception of Memory | Summary

• Memory was partially captured.
• Memory was partially captured as a measurable parameter.
• The degrees of recall and reproduction are variable functions of time and therefore time-dependent. As a rule, repeated revision of what has been learned is necessary at certain time intervals.

1.3 Ultima Memoria (UM) Conception of Memory | Summary

• Memory was captured and examined in terms of:
  • the capacity of retention
  • the speed of memorisation and recall
  • the form of expression and precision of retention
  • the temporal availability of retained information, namely recall and reproduction.
• For the first time in history, memory has been captured as a fully measurable parameter.
• The degrees of recall and reproduction are constant functions of time. Repetition of what has been learned is not, or scarcely, necessary.

2.|Memory and Intelligence|Intelligence

2.1 Classical Conception of Intelligence | Summary

• Intelligence was not captured, or only partially captured.
• Intelligence is a descriptive parameter.

2.2 Modern Conception of Intelligence | Summary

• Intelligence was partially captured.
• Intelligence is, in part, a measurable parameter.

2.3 Ultima Memoria (UM) Conception of Intelligence | Summary

• Intelligence was captured.
• For the first time in history, intelligence has been captured as a fully measurable parameter.

3.|Memory and Intelligence|Memory and Intelligence

3.1 Classical Conception of Memory and Intelligence | Summary

• An interaction between memory and intelligence was emphasised.

3.2 Modern Conception of Memory and Intelligence | Summary

• An interaction between memory and intelligence was demonstrated.

3.3 Ultima Memoria (UM) Conception of Memory and Intelligence | Summary

• The systematically captured interaction between memory and intelligence constitutes one of the central neurophysiological foundations of cognitive performance.

Ultima Memoria (UM) | Performance Dimensions & Objectives

Ultima Memoria (UM) defines memory performance through four central dimensions: capacity, speed, the form of expression and precision, and long-term memory. Together, these dimensions provide the foundation for the system’s measurable performance objectives.

1. 01Measurable increase in the capacity of the memory
2. 02Measurable increase in the speed of the memory
3. 03Measurable increase in the form of expression and precision of the memory
4. 04Measurable increase in long-term memory
