An issue of great recent interest is whether motor memory consolidates in a manner analogous to declarative memory--that is, with the formation of a memory that progresses over time from a fragile state, which is susceptible to interference by a lesion or a conflicting motor task, to a stabilized state, which is resistant to such interference. Here, we first review studies that examine the anatomical basis for motor consolidation. Evidence implicates cerebellar circuitry in two types of associative motor learning--eyelid conditioning and vestibulo-ocular reflex adaptation--and implicates primary motor cortex in skilled finger movements. We also review evidence for and against a consolidation process for adaptation of arm movements. We propose that contradictions have arisen because consolidation can be masked by inhibition of memory retrieval.

巩固运动记忆

最近一个非常有趣的问题是运动记忆是否以类似于陈述性记忆的方式巩固——也就是说，随着时间的推移，记忆的形成从脆弱状态开始，这种状态容易受到损伤或冲突运动的干扰。任务，达到稳定状态，可以抵抗这种干扰。在这里，我们首先回顾检查运动巩固的解剖学基础的研究。有证据表明，小脑回路涉及两种类型的联想运动学习——眼睑条件反射和前庭眼反射适应——并且在熟练的手指运动中涉及初级运动皮层。我们还审查了支持和反对调整手臂运动的巩固过程的证据。我们提出矛盾的产生是因为巩固可以被记忆检索的抑制所掩盖。
