Preferred term

complementary learning systems  

Definition

  • A computational model according to which the formation and consolidation of memories rely on two complementary and interacting systems: one, in the hippocampus, would be responsible for the rapid acquisition of episodic memories, distinct from one another and context-dependent; and the other, in the neocortex, would be responsible for the slow and gradual acquisition of the overlapping structure of events, independent of context.
