Document Summary
Learning and retaining (memory) a motor skill are 2 different processes: there are 2 stages of memory, short term memory, long term memory. Learning involves consolidating, which means taking a fragile, temporary memory and showing it up and building a circuit in the brain so that you can keep it for the long term. It is about the facts and events, not involving motor systems or movements, Everything that you learned that can be described verbally. Includes events of your life: procedural memory: You learn it automatically, no need to think about it or when it was learned. Declarative memory is based on the hippocampus ( it looks like a seahorse), it is in the temporal lobes on each side of the brain. Hippocampus is a memory area which is important and stored throughout evolution. The hippocampus is a memory controller, it is active when you try to consolidate memory.
