Autumn Semester,1973 Physiological Processes

Scientific Research The author reviews the literature and makes tentative conclusions concerning the physiological correlates of learning and memory. Particular attention is given to the issues of spinal cord learning, subcortical learning, cerebral cortex learning, localization of learning within the brain (specificity vs. non-specificity), and association areas (specific areas where learning is possibly controlled). Physiological changes within the brain resulting from learning are also explored. (RNP) r3
