Based on improved communication in the neural networks activated by the information being learned. Formation of long-term memories relies on neural changes: long-term potentiation: strengthening of synapses. Results in more effective communication at those synapses: does not create an exact replica of the information. Retrieval: moving memories out of long-term storage, into networking memory, memories are stored in networks of related information, retrieval cues information associated with elements of a memory that help to access that memory. Priming: exposure to cues that facilitate retrieval. Context: setting of initial learning facilitates retrieval. Emotions: state-dependent memory: following retrieval, memories are reconsolidated. May be reconsolidated with new or altered information. Unrecalled memories may be weakened by contrast. Procedural: motor, behavior, task (ex: how to walk: explicit (declarative) memory: we think about in words. Episodic: autobiographical memories events, ppl, etc. Entirely unique include feelings and where you were spatially.
