About this ebook
Memory is the ability to recreate in the mind, the experience of life, so how Cicero argued, "is a treasury and guardian of all things", that is the reality. Memory is a "complex cognitive function," which only artificially, may be separated from other cognitive and affective. In other words, memory is an adaptive mechanism essential for survival because it depends from learning and memory strategies and certain types of behavior. The experience and memory, then, become functions that allow you to create a "story", the formation of the feeling of being alive, to create a sense of self founded on a structure in its unrepeatable uniqueness, but also integrated with the person objects and the environment.

FOREWORD
Memory is the ability to retain and recall past experiences. It is memory that allows the continuity of the inner life, by surviving the past: without memory we would have only the perception of this. The memory then is not only a specific function to be educated with the exercise, but also a general condition of the whole structure of the human psychic. Memory is the process by which past experience leaves a trace that can result in behavioral changes. Only at the end of the century. XIX, after a long period of speculation, the problem of storage has been addressed scientifically. The enhancement of the value of experience is history
that translates the man in historical subject
, giving it a personality
and a solid base to build their own future. Memory is the ability to recreate in the mind, the experience of life, so how Cicero argued, is a treasury and guardian of all things
, that is the reality. Memory is a complex cognitive function,
which only artificially, may be separated from other cognitive and affective. In other words, memory is an adaptive mechanism essential for survival because it depends from learning and memory strategies and certain types of behavior. The experience and memory, then, become functions that allow you to create a story
, the formation of the feeling of being alive, to create a sense of self founded on a structure in its unrepeatable uniqueness, but also integrated with the person objects and the environment.
INTRODUCTION
The first model of memory dates back to 1890 and is due to the philosopher W. James. He divided the memory segment in which is contained, and easily available information coming from the consciousness, and secondary, from which the information would be retrieved in consciousness are no longer found. The model was taken up later by James E. Georg Müller and A. Pilzecker, according to which the nerve processes that are the basis of memory persist in a weak form after the experience and are fixed or consolidated only later in time. This hypothesis, called consolidation
was first proposed as an explanation of retroactive interference, i.e. the disturbance that new information has on prior learning. The existence of a consolidation period of the previous memory storage of information is proven by amnesia, memory leaks that occur, for example, after a head injury. In fact, the head injury causes retrograde amnesia, that is, an inability to remember the events immediately preceding the accident and, therefore, still in a consolidation phase. In the fifties of the century. XX physiologist D. Hebb proposed the hypothesis of double track
. According to this hypothesis would activate neural circuits that experience, remaining active for some time after the experience itself, would support the memory until it has verified permanent storage, such a mechanism would, therefore, the basis for a short-term memory term.
Not only that, this short track changes also lead to nerve necessary for the consolidation of memory and the formation of a stable memory trace. In particular, the period of consolidation would include all the physical and psychological changes that occur when
