Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Consolidation refers to the process of creating a stable memory trace in the brain. If enough time has passed for consolidation to occur, the memory will be resistant to disruption by ECS. Redintegration refers to the process of piecing together fragments of memories, positive transfer refers to the beneficial effects of past learning on acquiring new information, and constructive processing refers to the influence of prior knowledge on how new information is interpreted and recalled. None of these processes directly relate to the effect of ECS on memory consolidation.
