An associative memory model is useful not only for application of information science but for brain's model. In this paper, an associative memory model is employed to elucidate the mechanisms of neuronal responses in the inferior-temporal (IT) cortex. The behavior of the model qualitatively coincides with the responses of IT neurons. Furthermore, we propose three physiological experiments and predict the results from our model. If the results obtained by actual physiological experiments coincide with our predicted results, the associative memory model might be the mechanisms producing the responses of the IT neurons.
