Neuronal Mechanisms of Learning and Utilizing Abstract Representations
Sponsor: Cedars-Sinai Medical Center
Summary
The purpose of this study is to examine how memories of past experiences are used to guide behavior in novel situations through the cognitive process of abstraction. This project examines how abstract representations are learned, whether and how they support generalization to novel situations, and whether and how they support analogical reasoning.
