How many models of report are there? Researchers at the group 'Mind-brain' of the Institute for Culture and Society (ICS) of the University of Navarra have published a review to classify and clarify the different types that are currently widespread in the scientific literature. The article has been published in the scientific journal 'Frontiers in Pharmacology', the most cited open access journal in the area of Pharmacology and Pharmacy.

The work has been elaborated by Francisco Güell, coordinator of group, and Eduardo Camina, partner of project and researcher predoctoral of the School of Education and Psychology of the University of Navarra.

The main forms of report presented include sensoryreport , short deadline and long deadline. The authors comment that "information from the world around us is first stored in the sensory report , short report deadline refers to information processed in a short period of time. The long report deadline includes information from long ago that can be retrieved consciously or unconsciously."

Glossary

The research, in addition, includes a glossary that the researchers state "is essential for an overview and enables students and interested professionals to effectively address the latest findings related to the report". The glossary distinguishes these terms:

• report associative: reference letter makes the storage and retrieval of information result of a association.

• report short deadline/ episodic buffer: this is a temporary storage system capable of integrating information from different sources and is probably controlled by the central executive.

• report echoic: report sensory that receives and processes auditory information.

• report episodic: "includes the skill of learning, storing, and retrieving information about unique personal experiences that occur in daily life. These memories often include information about time and place of an event." (Dickerson and Eichenbaum, 2010).

• report explicit/declarative: refers to conscious memories of previously stored experiences, facts and concepts, which are verifiable through a verbal report of them.

• report haptic: report sensory that receives and processes information from the sense of touch.

• report iconic: report that receives and processes visual stimuli.

• report implicit/non-declarative: encompasses all unconscious memories, as well as certain skills.

• report long deadline: "refers to the storage of the report, unlimited and continuous, which can maintain information for long periods of time, even for a lifetime". (Brodziak et al., 2013).

• report non-associative: refers to recently learned behavior due to repeated exhibition to a single stimulus.

• report perceptive: report acquired through the senses.

• Priming: effect by which the exhibition to certain stimuli influences the response to subsequently presented stimuli.

• report of procedure: a area of report involved in remembering executive and motor skills needed to perform a task.

• report semantics: refers to the report of meanings, interpretations and concepts related to facts, information and general knowledge about the world.

• report sensory: "is the ability to briefly retain a large amount of information that people receive on a daily basis" (Siegler and Alibali, 2005).
