Introduction
The generic term for the sustained change in behavior that occurs in response to experiences or practice.
Stages of learning:
- perception
- encoding
- storage or consolidation
All 3 stages are needed for new long-term memory.
Long-term potentiation (LTP) may form the basis of associative learning (memory).
Pathology
Notes
- testing enhances learning through consolidation of retrieval processes linked with information storage[3]
