Document Summary
Ii. associative learning = learning about the association between two things--the relationship between two stimuli: contiguity and contingency, error prediction is crucial for driving associative forms of learning. Iii. extinction: not unlearning or erasure but a form of new learning that covers up prior learning. Even a day later, there"s robust enhancement of duration of withdrawal but it does decay over time. Withdrawal re ex is more robust and longer. Even a week later, there"s a huge enhancement of response. Provides a great model for mechanisms at cellular and neuronal level that are responsible for shift. We can pluck out sn and mn from abdominal ganglia and put them in a culture dish and reconstruct the circuit. We get a highly reduced neuronal circuit that consists of essential neuronal elements. We can now do long term studies of processes that underlie facilitation.
