Preferred term

targeted memory reactivation  

Definition

  • Targeted memory reactivation is an experimental procedure to study memory consolidation during sleep. It consists of exposing a subject during sleep to stimuli that have been associated with a waking situation, in order to strengthen the memory trace and improve its subsequent reactivation. This method is often used in conjunction with electrophysiological recordings to study the mechanisms underlying memory consolidation (Nicolas Ribeiro).

Study method of

Moderator variable(s)

  • • Sleep stages: Targeted memory reactivation is effective if applied during N2 and slow wave sleep (Hu et al., 2020).
  • • Test type: Targeted memory reactivation is observed in recall tasks and performance measures, but not in recognition, skin electrical conductance and subjective ratings (Hu et al., 2020).
  • • Type of learning: Targeted memory reactivation is effective on the acquisition of declarative memories, skill learning, but not on conditioning (Hu et al., 2020).
