Which type of learning is CORRECTLY paired with its basis in the nervous system?
A) classical conditioning of fear - changes in sensory neurons, interneurons, and motor neurons
B) habituation -- hippocampus
C) spatial learning -- amygdala
D) reward learning - midbrain dopamine system

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Reward learning is based on changes in the midbrain dopamine system, which plays a key role in motivation and reinforcement of behaviors. Classical conditioning of fear is based on changes in the connections between sensory neurons, interneurons, and motor neurons. Habituation is based on changes in the responsiveness of sensory neurons. Spatial learning is based on changes in the connections between different parts of the brain, including the hippocampus, with input from sensory neurons.
