The first method is based on replaying the memory during the consolidation process as a facilitator. (Bennion, Kesinger, & Payne, 2015). This process is known as “reactivation” (Bennion et al., 2015). The same areas that light up when we are learning are also present when we sleep, leading researchers to believe that we are processing information even while we sleep. Selective reactivation suggests choosing between important memories and those that are not. We will process vital memories first and diminish their meaning
