Learning and Memory

The Learning and Memory experiment is a study of transverse patterning, which is a learning paradigm that requires learning a series of arbitrary discriminations. This paradigm has been studied in many different species, and there is evidence suggesting that an intact hippocampal system is critical to "solving" the transverse patterning problem. Additionally, computer simulations of transverse patterning as well as behavioral studies with human and non-human animals suggest that the way animals are trained on the initial discriminations affects whether AC can be correctly solved as "C". The training method used here is a staged form of training, which is supposed to reliably elicit correct transverse patterning performance.
