A computer program which is capable of recognizing visual patterns is described. The program simulates lower order hypercomplex cells of the visual system (Hubel & Wiesel, 1965) and uses their hypothetical output to describe and remember visual patterns. The program is similar to a model of human and animal pattern recognition proposed by Sutherland (1968). An auditory pattern recognizing model, also based on simulated individual cells is proposed. Also proposed is a model of a movement detecting recognizer of three‐dimensional visual patterns which would achieve size constancy.
