Hi everyone  
I am new to HTM and am having trouble understanding all the concepts.  
Sorry for asking silly questions`Preformatted text`

My understanding is that the Spatial pooler gives SDR then what is the output of Temporal Memory?

If A B C pattern comes and D E C pattern comes, will the SDR of C be equal?

Thanks in advance

Hi @priyojit! Have been to [HTM School](https://numenta.org/htm-school/) or read [BAMI](https://numenta.com/resources/biological-and-machine-intelligence/)? These are the first resources I would suggest for you to understand better.

Spatial Pooler gives the SDR of the current input. Temporal Memory gives the SDR of the current input in the context of recent previous inputs.
