Timescales of learning in the basal ganglia and the hippocampus

This article is a commentary on "A role for the medial temporal lobe in feedback-driven learning: evidence from amnesia" by Foerde, K., Race, E., Verfaellie, M.,and Shohamy, D. (2013). It covers the idea that environmental feedback plays an important role with respect to both basal ganglia and hippocampus based learning. Evidence that both the hippocampus and the striatum are involved in reinforcement learning is given. This article suggests that future research use a more precise measurement o… more

A neurobiology of learning beyond the declarative non-declarative distinction

This article provides a literature review examining declarative and non-declarative forms of learning in neuroscience and psychology. The authors conclude that traditional taxonomy that distinguishes between neural systems supporting declarative and non-declarative forms of learning may be inadequate, as experimental and theoretical work suggests that other criteria may be more useful in categorizing the role of neural structures involved in learning such as the hippocampus and the basal gangli… more
