Learning

Relatively permanent changes in behaviour

brought about by practice and experience
 LIMBIC SYSTEM
Contains glands which help relay emotions.

generates are initiated in this area.

Amygdala Thalamus
Hippocampus Hypothalamus
Amydala
Helps the body responds to emotions,
memories and fear.
Regulates your interactions with your
environment that can help you survive
>>whether you attack
>> escape
>>eat
Hippocampus
Consolidates learning and converts information
to long-term storage regions
Creates meaning of information (comparison of
working memory and stored memory)
Capable of neurogenesis  significant on
learning and memory
Thalamus
Located in the center of the brain
Helps to control the attention span, sensing
pain
Monitors input that moves in and out of the
brain to keep track of the sensations the body
is feeling
Hypothalamus
In-charge of monitoring the normal state of the body
Moderates body functions:
>> sleep
>>body temperature
>>food intake
>>release of hormones
(e.g. cortisol which causes stress)
Cerebrum

Cerebellum
Cerebellum
Located behind the brain stem
It accounts for the 11% of the weight of
the brain
It plays a key role in the performance and
timing of complex motor tasks.
Cerebellum
It controls your movements and stores the
memory of automatic movements
It is also involved in mental rehearsal of
motor tasks, which is essential in improving
performance and becoming more skilled
