Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Long-term potentiation refers to the strengthening of synaptic connections between neurons that occurs with repeated stimulation, such as learning the order of the first hundred digits of pi through extensive studying. This process is believed to underlie learning and memory formation. Vicarious conditioning, habituation, and modeling are not relevant to Mason's ability to learn the digits of pi.
