Which of the following provides a neural basis for learning and remembering conditioned associations?
A) the serial position effect
B) long-term potentiation
C) encoding specificity
D) priming

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Long-term potentiation is a neural mechanism that provides a basis for learning and remembering conditioned associations. This mechanism involves strengthening of synaptic connections between neurons in response to repeated stimulation, resulting in enhanced communication between them. This process is thought to underlie the formation and consolidation of memories for conditioned stimuli and responses. The other options (A, C, and D) are related to memory retrieval and encoding but not directly to the formation of conditioned associations.
