Resumen:

Memory is an essential process that allows animals to adapt to their environment. This process has several stages in which learned information is acquired, stored, retrieved, and it is susceptible to extinction. In this chapter, we will mention the principal concepts used in the field of memory, and we will talk about the neurobiological features common to the different stages of memory, and about characteristics that differentiate them. In spite of the attributes that have been proposed to characterize each of the memory stages, it seems that the relative importance of particular mechanisms correlates with the strength of learning. A growing body of evidence shows that typical treatments that impede memory consolidation of learning mediated by low or moderate degrees of training, become innocuous when learning results from high degrees of training. These dissimilar training-dependent effects illustrate how far we still are from understanding the rules that govern consolidation, retrieval, and extinction of learned behaviors. © 2015 by Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
