Learning and Memory

This document discusses learning and memory. It defines learning as the ability to alter behavior based on experience, and memory as the acquisition, storage, and retrieval of sensory information. It describes different types of learning, including reflex learning (non-associative and associative) and incidental learning. It also describes different types of memory based on how information is stored and recalled, such as implicit, explicit, short-term, and long-term memory. The document provides details on classical and operant conditioning experiments and the physiological mechanisms involved in learning, memory formation, consolidation and retrieval, including long-term potentiation.
