Describe learning tasks that assess the capacity for perceptual learning, motor learning, and stimulus-response learning.
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

Answer to Question 1

Answer: Perceptual learning can be examined by having a subject examine a set of broken drawings that are successively more complete. The task is to learn to recognize a figure using the least amount of information (most incomplete figure). Motor learning can be assessed by having a subject trace a figure. Stimulus-response learning can be assessed using a classically conditioned eyeblink response.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Anterograde amnesia refers to the inability to recall events or information experienced after a trauma to the brain. The person is conscious after the trauma, but is unable to store memories for events after the trauma. In contrast, retrograde amnesia refers to the inability to recall events that occurred PRIOR to the trauma. Typically, events near the trauma are more likely to be lost than are remote events.
