Question 2

How does the concept of 'memory evolution' differ from 'memory consolidation'?

Accepted Answer

Reflecting the complexity of human memories and how they are modified during sleep, new terms are being used currently that better describe what is actually thought to be occurring in the stabilizing and integrating processes. One such term is memory evolution rather than consolidation. This term better describes the concept that not only do new memories get integrated into the existing memory store, but old memories can be changed or forgotten during these processes as well - thus memory can evolve over time.

Accepted Answer
