The modification of behaviour by experience occurs throughout the Animal Kingdom. This is one of the fundamental facts of animal behaviour and has been the central preoccupation of a vast literature on animal learning, but it cannot be said that there is more than the slightest knowledge of the physiological changes which occur in animals during even the simplest learning process. The discovery of phenomena such as subsynaptic depression, neuromuscular facilitation and fatigue, and post-tetanic potentiation help us to appreciate the poten-tially plastic properties of nervous material. But the evolution of an understanding of how learning does in fact occur demands the physiological analysis of behaviour patterns which are subject to systema...
