However, there is evidence that EL outcomes may vary significantly across patients depending on various factors such as injury severity, the …

Human adaptation to environmental demands is based on memory, one basic cognitive ability. In fact, this cognitive process is studied across different fields of knowledge, not only psychology. Since the unitary concept of memory—which defined memory as a unitary, indivisible system—was abandoned, research studies, undertaken in different disciplines and methodologies, are increasingly exploring different mnemonic systems. These have been collected and classified, both in classical and current approaches, according to two main factors: memory duration, on the one hand; and the type of information stored, on the other.
In many ways, our memories make us who we are, they are our essence as human beings. But in order for those memories to last, they need the memory to work correctly. The memory is a concept known by all, but something we know very little about in depth. In this article we will try …
