Document Summary
Motor learning involves learning to make a new response. It cannot occur without sensory guidance from the environment. Most skilled movements involved interactions with the environment bicycles, rackets, knitting needles, etc. Movements that we make ourselves (e. g. dance steps) involve feedback from joints, vestibular system, eyes and contact between the feet and the floor. Stimulus changes in neural circuit that detects a particular stimulus (perceptual system + perceptual learning) (s-r learning) changes in neural circuit that controls a particular behavior (motor system + motor learning) response. Relational learning learning about the relationships among different stimuli is relational learning. Spatial learning allows us to learn about relations among stimuli located in space. Episodic learning enables us to remember sequences of events (episodes) that we witness. Synaptic plasticity: cellular mechanisms that underlie learning & memory. Ltp can cause the long-term strengthening of the synapses between two neuron (i. e. hebb rule in action)
