Lerning
- neurobiological perspective

A
  • brain saves information in neurons (data points)
  • access to info through synapses (connections) between neurons

Learning = formation/ restructuring of neuronal network, i.e. changes in brain structures
- new information saved in neurons
- improvement of synapses: new/ strengthen & refine/ rewire old
- no synapses = forgotten
