Theories of learning - Theories of learning

…It is argued that because almost all neurons at higher levels of the nervous system are constantly excited, the passage of signals at synapses is a phenomenon that occurs constantly, and therefore it is difficult to imagine that the passage of signals alone leads to the strengthening of synaptic transmission, and that strengthening occurs only when two inputs are active at the same time. This is called the conjunction theory of learning. The changes in the cerebellar cortical neural circuits in the case of cerebellar motor learning are an example of this. …

*Some of the terminology that refers to the "learning correlation theory" is listed below.

…それは，神経系の高次レベルではほとんどすべてのニューロンはつねに興奮しているから，シナプスでの信号の通過は絶えず起こる現象であるため，信号の通過だけでは直ちにそのシナプスの伝達の強化につながるとは考えがたいとし，二つの入力が同時に活動する場合に限って強化が起こると主張した。これを〈学習の関連説conjunction theory of learning〉という。小脳の運動学習の場合の小脳皮質神経回路の変化はこれにあたる。…
