For such processing, the details surrounding the memory (where, when, and with whom the experience took place) must be preserved and are necessary for an episodic memory to form, otherwise the memory would be semantic. The transition of a memory from short term to long term is called memory consolidation Little is known about the physiological processes involved Two propositions of how the brain achieves this task are backpropagation or backprop and positive feedback from the endocrine system Backprop has been proposed as a mechanism the brain uses to achieve memory consolidation and has been used, for. The development of memory is a lifelong process that continues through adulthood
Development etymologically refers to a progressive unfolding Memory development tends to focus on periods of infancy, toddlers, children, and adolescents, yet the developmental progression of memory in adults and older adults is also circumscribed under the umbrella of memory development Memorisation) is the process of committing something to memory It is a mental process undertaken in order to store in memory for later recall visual, auditory, or tactical information The scientific study of memory is part of cognitive neuroscience, an interdisciplinary link between cognitive psychology and neuroscience. Memory is a site of storage and enables the retrieval and encoding of information, which is essential for the process of learning
The hippocampus is also involved in memory consolidation, the slow process by which memories are converted from short to long term memory This is supported by studies in which lesions are applied to rat hippocampi at different times after learning [2] the process of consolidation may take up to a couple years. The study of memory incorporates research methodologies from neuropsychology, human development and animal testing using a wide range of species The complex phenomenon of memory is explored by combining evidence from many areas of research New technologies, experimental methods and animal experimentation have led to an increased understanding of the workings of memory.
Recognition memory, a subcategory of explicit memory, is the ability to recognize previously encountered events, objects, or people [1] when the previously experienced event is reexperienced, this environmental content is matched to stored memory representations, eliciting matching signals [2] as first established by psychology experiments in the 1970s, recognition memory for pictures is.
