The process of reinforcement of some neuronal groups in the brain and elimination of other groups.
This theory, proposed by G. EDELMAN (1987) as a “theory of neuronal groups selection”, seeks to explain the progressive organization of the brain as a result of the acquired dominance of some groups of neurons which become frequently reactivated through re-entries of signal impulses.
This process leads to the stabilization of some specific perceptive and ordering patterns , which become the basis for future evaluations of new perceptions . It seems to correspond to the progressive construction of reference frames .
