Consolidation & Interference in Multiple Sclerosis

The ability to form new long-lasting memories is important for successful independent living and a high quality of life. Roughly half of the individuals diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) have difficulty remembering new information and this is likely associated with poor acquisition of new information. There are only a limited number of studies that have investigated memory consolidation in MS. The current study will investigate the role of interference during the consolidation time period of memory formation.
