  2. Memory and trauma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_and_trauma

    Memory and trauma is the deleterious effects that physical or psychological trauma has on memory. Memory is defined by psychology as the ability of an organism to store, retain, and subsequently retrieve information. When an individual experiences a traumatic event, whether physical or psychological trauma, their memory can be affected in many ...

  3. Childhood amnesia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Childhood_amnesia

    One study performed by Bauer and Larkina (2013) used cued recall by asking children and adults to state a personal memory related to the word and then state the earliest time that it occurred. The researchers found that the younger children need more prompts or cues. For children and adults, the earliest memory retrieval was around three years old.

    A common symptom of PTA is confusion. The most prominent symptom of post-traumatic amnesia (PTA) is a loss of memory of the present time. [10] As a result, patients are often unaware of their condition and may behave as if they are going about their regular lives.

  5. Recall (memory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recall_(memory)

    In other words, memory is improved when information available at encoding is also available at retrieval. For example, if one is to learn about a topic and study it in a specific location, but take their exam in a different setting, they would not have had as much of a successful memory recall as if they were in the location that they learned ...

    Memory reconsolidation is a process of retrieving and altering a pre-existing long-term memory. Reconsolidation after retrieval can be used to strengthen existing memories and update or integrate new information. This allows a memory to be dynamic and plastic in nature. Just like in consolidation of memory, reconsolidation, involves the ...

  8. Hippocampal memory encoding and retrieval - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippocampal_memory...

    This is in opposition to the classical consolidation hypothesis which regards consolidation as a one-time event, following the first encoding of a memory. A memory item in this hypothesis, upon reactivation, destabilizes for a brief period and thereafter invokes the neuronal processes requisite for stabilization. [5]

  9. Body memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_memory

    Body memory (BM) is a hypothesis that the body itself is capable of storing memories, as opposed to only the brain. While experiments have demonstrated the possibility of cellular memory [1] there are currently no known means by which tissues other than the brain would be capable of storing memories. [2] [3]
