There is much research nowadays about artificial neural networks and artificial intelligence. In particular, research into cognitive models mimicking the human brain structure to simulate human consciousness are progressing at an active rate. This paper presents the cognitive model ‘HaeYum’, meaning ‘to think’ in Korean, based on Gerald Edelman’s Theory of neuronal group selection (TNGS) and Baar’s Global Workspace Theory (GWT). From these two theories regarding consciousness, the HaeYum model borrows the concepts of categorized memory and workspace. The HaeYum model explains consciousness as an operational mechanism dealing with categorized memory and represents it as a computational model, which could become a crucial theory regarding artificial intelligences that thinks like humans, or artificial general intelligence. This paper outlines the HaeYum model and explain its working mechanism of the memory-calling phase and the memory-saving phase.
