Learning new words: memory reactivation as a mechanism for strengthening and updating a novel word´s meaning

"In the present study we explored the post-learning changes in a novel word’s definition using a cue-induced memory reactivation. Native speakers of Spanish (N=373) learned low-frequency words with their corresponding definitions. The following day, reactivated groups were exposed to a reminder...
