Document Summary
Declarative memory system: hm, surgery-induced lesion, affected the hippocampus and cortical tissue around it, had difficulty learning new information, what type of information could hm learn and remember. If you were asking him to remember something declarative, he was 0 in terms of persistence of learning. If you probed material that is learned by repetition or that is stimulus-response, sensorimotor learning, verbal priming, most types of classical conditioning, he was generally normal. Impaired his ability to learn declarative information: spared his ability to learn procedural information. If you train the animals a little, 85% of the rats will develop place strategies s-s learning and use of cognitive maps. If the animal is over-trained, rats will develop response strategies s-r learning. Multiple parallel memory systems: sometimes they help each other, but sometimes they interfere with each other. The conditioned place preference is a test of: flexible spatial learning, taste aversion learning, stimulus-reward learning, stimulus-response learning, post-conditioning evaluation learning.
