Embodiments relate to a processing node in a temporal memory system that performs temporal pooling or processing by activating cells where the activation of a cell is maintained longer if the activation of the cell were previously predicted or activation on more than a certain portion of associated cells in a lower node was correctly predicted. An active cell correctly predicted to be activated or an active cell having connections to lower node active cells that were correctly predicted to become active contribute to accurate prediction, and hence, is maintained active longer than cells activated but were not previously predicted to become active. Embodiments also relate to a temporal memory system for detecting, learning, and predicting spatial patterns and temporal sequences in input data by using action information.
