Concept information
Preferred term
multiple trace theory
Definition
- Theory of systems consolidation according to which the hippocampus and the neocortex continue to interact in the case of episodic memory. The reactivation of an episodic memory trace creates a new memory trace. Thus, an episodic memory is represented by multiple traces. Semantic memory can be stabilized in the neocortex and no longer be influenced by the hippocampus.
