Biological bases of memory in learning

Abstract

Although it is not the only element at stake, memory plays a central role in learning processes inside and outside the school environment. In this work, a review is made of the factors that can modify the quality of memory from its neurological substrate. Once memory is defined, its types reviewed, and the neuro-physiological mechanisms that make it possible have been described, the factors that condition it are addressed: nutrition, stress, concentration, motivation and exercise.
