The phrase "acquired memory" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts discussing memory that has been gained or learned over time, often in relation to psychology or neuroscience.
Example: "The study focused on how acquired memory influences decision-making processes in adults."
Alternatives: "learned memory" or "gained memory".
Does sleep play a similar role in reconsolidating a previously acquired memory that has been destabilized as it does in the initial consolidation of that memory?
This study was undertaken to examine the effects of systemic cycloheximide and anisomycin treatment on the reconsolidation and maintenance of a reactivated cocaine-conditioned place preference (CPP) in mice using several strategies designed to reactivate the previously acquired memory.
Areas of the medial temporal lobe including the hippocampus10 and parahippocampal gyrus12 showed increased blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) responses in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) when the cues were presented during sleep, consistent with reactivation of previously acquired memory traces.
These two people had T cells that expressed surface proteins known to be a hallmark of T cells that have acquired memory status — a characteristic that enables a faster and more robust immune response to a particular neoantigen if it subsequently re-emerges.
Laboratory studies of the neural basis of memory suppression often use a suppression-induced or motivated forgetting paradigm the 'Think/NoThink (TNT)' procedure3,4,11, in which inhibitory control of a newly acquired memory is assessed by the compromised ability to recall it at a later time point3,12.
In view of the findings showing that sleep during the night is critical in the consolidation of previously acquired memory traces, we hypothesized that intensive new learning experience provided by systematic cognitive training will act as a catalyst to change sleep architecture and by doing so will improve sleep quality among older adults with insomnia.
Posttraining ablation of adult-generated neurons degrades previously acquired memories.
Critically, newly acquired memories are labile and susceptible to change11,18,19.
Next, we examined the effectiveness of memory suppression after overnight consolidation compared with newly acquired memories.
A central cognitive function of sleep is to consolidate newly acquired memories for long-term storage.
The increased right DLPFC activation here may reflect more cognitive effort needed to suppress consolidated relative to recently acquired memories.
