«Both during encoding and retrieval of declarative memories there is an interaction between these areas mediated through gamma and theta oscillations.

Given declarative memory's powerful role in learning, one might expect it to help individuals acquire all kinds of compensatory strategies — as long as it remains functional.

Because declarative memory is the only brain system that supports such explicit learning, these strategies must depend on this system.

First, therapists can make greater use of techniques that rely on declarative memory, such as approaches that employ explicit knowledge.

Evaluating the Evidence Multiple lines of evidence suggest compensation by declarative memory.

We presented evidence suggesting that declarative memory enables people with OCD or Tourette's syndrome to learn to control compulsions and tics; allows individuals with autism to memorize strategies that improve social interactions; and helps people with dyslexia or SLI overcome reading and language difficulties.

Replay appears to be the brain's primary method of consolidating declarative memory, she notes: «This replay stimulates a transfer of the memories back to the neocortex where they are stored for the long term.»

Evidence suggests that when procedural memory is impaired, children may have math disability, dyslexia, or developmental language disorder, though declarative memory often compensates to some extent,» Ullman says.

Ullman and Evans say that learning math likely depends on the brain's two primary learning and memory systems — not just procedural memory, but also declarative memory, where conscious knowledge is learned.

Such observations have led to the idea that declarative memory passes through a short - term store into a long - term store.

Here, we asked whether application of microstimulation targeted to the entorhinal afferents into hippocampus could enhance declarative memory function in humans.

«This would be so - called declarative memory, which refers to memories which can be consciously recalled, such as facts or knowledge,» the authors conclude.

Episodic memory, together with semantic memory — the ability to understand meanings and concepts — allows beings to recall facts and knowledge, an ability known as declarative memory.

Sources of declarative memory impairment in bipolar disorder: Mnemonic processes and clinical features.

There are different types of memories: Long - term declarative memories, which H.M. could no longer form; short - term memories which H.M. still possessed to a degree; and motor memories, such as recalling how to ride a bike, which H.M. never lost.

Although the MTL has indeed proved critical for declarative memory — the recollection of facts and events — the region remains something of a black box.

Paradoxically, another therapeutic option could involve approaches that avoid engaging declarative memory.

Moreover, the MTL is not the final repository of declarative memories.

Prior research by the same researchers on the effects of glucose and caffeine consumption showed improvements in declarative memory and attention span with no significant alteration of the subjective state of the individuals.

When scientists compared the two groups of cocaine users, they observed pronounced differences, mainly in specific neuropsychological functions such as sustained attention (required for performing long tasks, such as completing a questionnaire), working memory (used in specific actions, for example, a waiter remembering the order of each table until the time comes to deliver the orders) and declarative memory (storing and retrieving data after a period of time).

Declarative memory is your memory for facts, like the Spanish word for dog.

Additionally, declarative memory's role in neurodevelopmental disorders has implications for diagnosis.

In fact, when you use the declarative memory system, it doesn't help you, it harms you,» Finn says.

Given the power and flexibility of declarative memory, it could enable compensation in many other contexts.

Under this theory, declarative memory, which stores knowledge and facts, would be more useful for learning vocabulary and certain rules of grammar.

It now appears that a single brain system — declarative memory — can pick up slack for many kinds of problems across multiple neurodevelopmental disorders.

Helping Patients Recognizing the compensatory role of declarative memory could improve treatment in several ways.

Overall, we believe that a better understanding of declarative memory could yield new ways to both identify and treat people with neurodevelopmental disorders.

Finally, if declarative memory underlies compensation, then those individuals with stronger declarative memory should compensate more effectively.
