Through the process of reconsolidation, consolidated memories can be reactivated and temporarily labialized, allowing them to be updated in strength and content. In the framework of reconsolidation, a prediction error (PE) is proposed as the key mechanism that triggers the process. Generally speaking, a PE is a mismatch between expected (based on prior experience) and current events. Previous associative memory reconsolidation studies show that incomplete reminders (IR) are a subtype of prediction error that strengthen memory trace. These reminders consist in an incomplete trial that ends abru

Memory reconsolidation is the mechanism by which consolidated memories are updated in strength and/or content. Thus, memory reactivation can enhance the retention of reactivated items at long delays. An underlying hypothesis to these findings suggests that reconsolidation would be “reactivation specific”, implying that only the reactivated elements after consolidation would be susceptible to modifications. However, episodic memories are intrinsically associative, which implies that they are integrated into interconnected- networks between its elements and the acquisition context. Reactivation
