Memory
Activation and reactivation of the same neurons creates a neural pathway, or memory, of the episode or action.
● memory consolidation. The process of encoding working memory to long-term memory, involves the transferral of information from one brain area to another. Consolidation is dependent on the association of information with existing knowledge and an essential intervening rest phase.
● memory, episodic. An episode is an event or a group of events occurring as part of a larger sequence and its broader associative network, thus episodic memory is a consciousrecollection of previous experiences, together with their context in terms of time, place, and associated emotions. It often unfolds sequentially and is experienced from an internal or autobiographical perspective.
● memory, explicit. Memory formed with awareness. Also called declarative memory.
● memory, long term. The result of the act of learning, or memory consolidation. Unlike short-term memory which causes short-lived biochemical changes in the brain via the release of neurotransmitters, long term memory changes the brain’s structure due to repetition or practice.
● memory (perceptual–motor processing). Higher-level and later-stage perceptual tasks consist largely of the reactivation of memory networks by internally or externally generated sensory stimuli.
● memory, procedural. Also called motor memory. The representation of how motor acts and behaviors are executed. Lying beneath the cortex, it is subject to executive ignorance, and most often is considered implicit or nondeclarative. For this reason, it may require prompting. To assure retrievability for voluntary guidance as explicit or declarative memory, it must be formed with meaningful associations, such as mnemonic tagging.
● memory, working. Term used in cognitive science for the dynamic act of learning itself. Causes biochemical changes in the brain via the release of neurotransmitters. Also called short-term memory.[1]
