A lasting change in the nervous system that allows information or experiences to influence later behavior.

A limited-duration system for temporarily holding information.

Relatively lasting stored information that can influence future behavior and cognition.

A system used to temporarily hold and manipulate information during a task.

The process by which experiences become represented by changes in neural circuits.

Processes that stabilize and strengthen newly formed memories over time.

The reactivation of stored information or neural representations so they can influence current thinking or behavior.

A decreased response to a repeated, harmless stimulus.

An increased response to a stimulus following exposure to a strong or significant stimulus.

Learning in which experience creates an association between stimuli, responses, or behaviors.

A learned connection between two pieces of information, stimuli, or events.

Responding similarly to stimuli that resemble a learned stimulus.

The ability to distinguish between different stimuli and respond differently to them.

Applying a learned response too broadly to stimuli or situations that are not actually equivalent.

Loss of discrimination

A reduction in the ability to distinguish between relevant and irrelevant stimuli.

A response that occurs with little conscious deliberation after a circuit has become strongly established.

A repeated behavior that becomes strongly associated with particular cues or contexts.

A persistent pattern of behavior or substance use involving altered reward, motivation, learning, and behavioral-control circuits.

Working memory	A system used to temporarily hold and manipulate information during a task.
Memory formation	The process by which experiences become represented by changes in neural circuits.
Memory consolidation	Processes that stabilize and strengthen newly formed memories over time.
Memory retrieval	The reactivation of stored information or neural representations so they can influence current thinking or behavior.
Habituation	A decreased response to a repeated, harmless stimulus.
Sensitization	An increased response to a stimulus following exposure to a strong or significant stimulus.
Conditioning	Learning in which experience creates an association between stimuli, responses, or behaviors.
Association	A learned connection between two pieces of information, stimuli, or events.
Generalization	Responding similarly to stimuli that resemble a learned stimulus.
