Systematic investigation of reactivation-induced memory updating began in the 1960s, and
a wave of research in this area followed the seminal articulation of “reconsolidation” theory …

The human brain is known by its ability to modify and update existing memories, mediated
by underlying neuronal plasticity. This ability is facilitated by two main phenomena …

Learning to associate specific objects with value contributes to the human's adaptive
behavior. However, the intrinsic nature of associative memory posits a challenge that newly …

Learning motor skills commonly requires repeated execution to achieve gains in
performance. Motivated by memory reactivation frameworks predominantly originating from …

People show vast variability in skill performance and learning. What determines a person's
individual performance and learning ability? In this study we explored the possibility to …

Practicing motor skills stabilizes and strengthens motor memories by repeatedly reactivating
and reconsolidating them. The conventional view, by which a repetitive practice is required …

Abundant evidence shows that consolidated memories are susceptible to modifications
following their reactivation. Processes of memory consolidation and reactivation-induced …

Consolidated memories can return to a labile state upon presentation of a reminder,
followed by a period of re-stabilization known as reconsolidation. This period can take …

Visual skill learning is the process of improving responses to surrounding visual stimuli. 1
For individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), efficient skill learning may be …

Motor performance varies substantially between individuals. This variance is rooted in
individuals' innate motor abilities, and should thus have a neural signature underlying these …
