Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The present research investigated subconscious memory processing, especially post-retrieval offline processing and effects of retrieval attempt on memory engram. Concerning post-retrieval offline processing, it was shown that post-retrieval offline period does not facilitate memory recovery and organization of retrieval but it prevents memory forgetting more than continuous tests do. Studies about effects on memory engram revealed that retrieval attempts induce change in memory engram to enhance re-learnability in an independent manner of conscious processing like retrieval strategy. These findings contributes to further understanding on what roles memory retrieval (and probably top-down signals from prefrontal cortex to medial temporal lobe) plays in subconscious memory processing.
