If you use correlational opponent processing via wavelets or associational
reciprocal inhibition as your model these conflicts may not seem as
important. Stimuli would have natural wavelet structures which could result
in speeding up learning from the Zeigarnik effect. Since memory is always
updated or reprocessed, neurons would grow additional connections that would
support integration of that information. Inference theory is also a natural
for wavelet theory. Wavelet information that is congruent would allow
associative memories - stimulus generalization. Wavelet information that
is discrepant would result in interference.
