Document Summary

Time and place learning animals may learn about events that occur at certain times of the day, linking the event to their internal clock. Scn can pass information to pineal gland that secretes melatonin in humans, circadian rhythm can be entrained by manipulated ambient light to shorter and longer periods than 24h. Staddon model: in lab situations in which animals receive food at regular intervals, it is possible that the decay of memory from one reward to the next can itself be associated with food. Conclusions models must fit behavioural data, but should also find some analogy with neurobiological data the processes may not be mutually exclusive. 6. 3 the approximate number system timing and numerical processing originate from a similar representational system across animals, the duration and numerosity features of stimuli are processed simultaneously counting: situations in which quantities are precisely labeled with a symbol system.
