Excerpt

Classically, memory has been defined as the preservation in time of internal representations called mental images (Cooper 1976; Finke and Kosslyn 1980; Finke and Kurtzman 1981; Shepard 1978). An extensive body of literature has been devoted to understanding the processes allowing for stabilization of these mental images. It is noteworthy that nearly all these studies have presented the consolidation process as a freezing process, in other terms, it has been considered that organization of the information has not been really continuous in time. Hence, in a certain way, the whole concept of memory turned to be considered as ‘rigid’. In this perspective, within-subject variability of the motor output can be seen as the result of the noise present in the system and, consequently, as a random process without temporal structure. …
