Neural basis of learning and memory
... Canadian psychologist Donald Hebb (1904–1985) is credited with the idea that learning involves the establishment and strengthening of neural connections at the synapse. For example, learning a list of new spelling words, to use a pogo stick, to play a harmonica or any other task will establish new n ...
