Concept information
Preferred term
Ribot's law
Definition
- "We thus see that the progressive destruction of memory follows a logical order — a law. It advances progressively from the unstable to fhe stable. It begins with the most recent recollections, which, lightly impressed upon the nervous elements, rarely repeated and consequently having no permanent associations, represent organization in its feeblest form. It ends with the sensorial, instinctive memory, which, become a permanent and integral part of the organism, represents organization in its most highly developed stage." (Ribot, Th., Diseases of memory, 1881/1882, p.121-122).
