What is the hippocampus
200
This is what the neutral stimulus becomes after the conditioning process.

If a response to a behavior decreases the likelihood of the behavior to happen again by removing something pleasant, it is called this operant conditioning term
What is Negative Reinforcement
200
This type of learning is how people, especially children, learn behaviors by watching others and utilizing their mirror neurons
What is Observational Learning

This is the term used to describe an inability to recall previously stored memories or store new memories
What is Amnesia
