Over the last 100 years or so, a great deal of progress has been made in delineating the
behavioral properties of simple associative learning. In addition, much progress has been …

Abstract Analysis of how the brain learns and stores memories is one of the most
challenging problems in neuroscience and in psychology. Use of simpler 'biological models' …

This volume contains a collection of papers written by former students, postdoctoral fellows,
and colleagues of Richard Thompson and represent written versions of papers presented at …

Associative learning involves the encoding of relationships between events, for example,
between two stimuli or between a stimulus and a response. Associative learning is …

For well over 100 years, experimental psychologists and brain scientists have explored the
neuronal basis of learning—that is, the relationship between changes in behavior or …

Conclusion Classical conditioning of the eyeblink response in both humans and
experimental animals has provided an enormous amount of information about basic …

Abstract begins with a behavioral description of classical conditioning, then describes the
results of an extensive series of studies mapping the neuronal circuits that are responsible …

Classical conditioning of the eyeblink reflex to a neutral stimulus that predicts an aversive
stimulus is a basic form of associative learning. Acquisition and retention of this learned …

Acquisition of the classically conditioned eyeblink response is generally regarded as one of
the most basic forms of associative learning. A great deal is known about how the brain …

Understanding of the neural processes that mediate learning and memory has been
substantially advanced in recent years as a result of the model system research strategy …
