Abstract
The medial temporal lobe (MTL) plays a key role in learning, memory, spatial navigation, emotion, and social behavior. Neuroimaging of declarative memory is not an endeavor divorced from psychology but, instead, is another path through which a more complete understanding of memory has emerged in physical training. There are only three ways that information can move from short-term memory to long-term memory: urgency, repetition, or association. Urgency, releasing stress hormones, creates a powerful wash of chemicals that strengthens the connection between neurons, or synapses. Urgency also determines how and where the brain encodes the information into long-term memory.Repetition is the most familiar learning; every athlete has memorized skills or tactic process by repeating them and some have improved basketball free-throw shooting or combat skills practice. Repetition creates long-term memory by eliciting or enacting strong chemical interactions at the synapse of the neuron; where neurons connect to other neurons. Repetition makes the strongest learning, and most learning implicit and explicit relies on repetition. It is also why it is so hard to change behavior of the elite athletes: the new behavior must be repeated for so long, and the old behavior must be kept in check.
