Testing the multiple learning system model with eyeblink conditioning in normal and amnesic participants

这个项目将测试学习新材料是否总是需要积极的关注和努力，或者某些类型的学习是否可以自动发生。我们将使用一项实验室任务，即眨眼条件作用，据称这项任务是自动发生的。这些结果将指导神经科学家探索学习和记忆的大脑机制。它们还将有助于优化教育、培训和临床治疗的战略，在这些战略中，必须尽可能有效地传播新材料。

This project will test whether learning of new material always requires active attention and effort, or whether some types of learning can occur automatically. We will use a laboratory task, eye blink conditioning, that has been claimed to occur automatically. The results will guide neuroscientists in their search for the brain mechanisms of learning and memory. They will also help to optimise strategies for education, training and clinical treatments where new material must be communicated as effectively as possible.
