Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The disruption of memory that occurs when football players have been knocked out provides evidence for the importance of
A
consolidation in the formation of new memories
B
consolidation in the retrieval of long-term memories
C
nutrition in normal neural functioning
D
semantic encoding of recent information
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The disruption of memory that occurs when football players have been knocked out provides evidence for the importance of. . . Consolidation in the formation of new memories. The increased efficiency of synaptic transmission between certain neurons following learning. Motivated forgetting.

Detailed explanation-2: -Proactive interference is when older memories interfere with the retrieval of newer memories. Because older memories are often better rehearsed and more strongly cemented in long-term memory, it is often easier to recall previously learned information rather than more recent learning.

Detailed explanation-3: -The hippocampus is essential for the consolidation of both short-term and long-term memories. Damage to this area of the brain can render a person incapable of making new memories and may even affect older memories that have not been fully consolidated.

Detailed explanation-4: -Memory consolidation refers to the process by which a temporary, labile memory is transformed into a more stable, long-lasting form. Memory consolidation was first proposed in 1900 (Müller and Pilzecker 1900; Lechner et al.

Detailed explanation-5: -Retrieval-mediated learning is a powerful way to make memories last, but its neurocognitive mechanisms remain unclear. We propose that retrieval acts as a rapid consolidation event, supporting the creation of adaptive hippocampal-neocortical representations via the “online” reactivation of associative information.
