An analogous type of spreading of activation that characterizes semantic networks is a central assumption of:
A) long-term potentiation
B) memory molecules
C) semantic modularity
D) electrical stimulation of the brain

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Long-term potentiation (LTP) is a process in which the strength of synaptic connections between neurons is increased. This process is thought to be the cellular basis of learning and memory. LTP is characterized by a spreading of activation across a neural network, similar to the activation spreading that occurs in semantic networks. Therefore, the spreading of activation that characterizes semantic networks is a central assumption of long-term potentiation.
