โœฆ Synopsis

An informon network of interconnected units with the property of automatic pattern recognition has been described earlier in this journal; the connection between any two units has a variable conductivity proportional to the mutual information between the output signals of the two units. It has been found that a single unit, with its set of converging input pathways, reproduces much of the known behaviour of an animal under classical conditioning to compound stimuli. There are five correspondences-between psychological and network concepts. The explanation here offered of animal learning in terms of a physical network is a first step towards a physiological explanation. There is already some evidence that the informon law of variable conductivity obtains in pathways of cerebral cortex.

Classical conditioning provides a rich and powerful method for studying basic learning, memory, and emotion processes in animals. However, it is important to recognize that an animal's performance in a conditioning experiment provides only an indirect indication of what it has learned. Various remem

## Abstract Patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) show impairments of a range of motor learning tasks, including tracking or serial reaction time task learning. Our study investigated whether such deficits would also be seen on a simple type of motor learning, classic conditioning of the eyeblink
