Preferred term

standard theory of consolidation  

Definition

  • A model of systems consolidation according to which the function of the hippocampus is to bind the different aspects of a recent memory stored in different sites of the neocortex. Over time, the role of the hippocampus diminishes and the connections are stabilized in the neocortex. This model considers episodic memory and semantic memory in a similar way.
