Abstract:
[Purpose] The aim of the present study was to investigate how long joint position sense (JPS) can be retained in memory. [Subjects] Eleven healthy subjects (5 men and 6 women) were enrolled in this study. [Methods] Subjects memorized a specific joint position visually, and then they were asked to reproduce without visual aid the position at 3 different time intervals: immediately, 5 minutes post-memorization, and 30 minutes post-memorization. [Results] Differences in JPS between time intervals of immediate and 30 minutes post-memorization were statistically significant with the exception of knee flexion at 60° with a 5 kg load. Differences in reproduced JPS between time intervals of immediately and 5 minutes post-memorization were not statistically significant. [Conclusions] The results suggest that JPS can be retained in memory for approximately 5 minutes.

What is Immunological Memory?
Immunological memory is an integral function of the immune system that allows it to recognize and react more rapidly and effectively to pathogens previously encountered. This feature...
Long-Term Memory
Long-term memory can be categorized into two primary types: explicit and implicit memory. Explicit memory, also known as declarative memory, involves the conscious recollection of information that we deliberately try to remember, recall, and articulate.
