Document Summary
Learning is important for animal to adapt its behavior according to changing environments if (cid:272)ould(cid:374)"t lear(cid:374), (cid:449)ould ha(cid:448)e stereotypic behaviors guided by sensory input (rigid, never changes) behavior change based on sense. Learn ex changing behavior to find food sources. Learning means behavior is plastic can change/adapt. Ability to learn is an advantage in evolution. Learning = process, memory = stuff we learned. Different ways of learning, different forms of memory. Facts: things that have to do with language, stuff you learn when you read a book and study.

Central nervous system where we learn and store memories. We can learn about learning from patients that have had strokes, imaging studies (mri) can see where blood oxygenation changes when we do things.
