Answer to Question 1

Answer: The Hebb rule states that a synapse that repeatedly becomes active at about the same time that a postsynaptic neuron fires will strengthen that synapse. The rule is used to provide a conceptual account of the physiological basis of learning, and suggests that experiences will produce physical changes in brain synapses that will be expressed in behavior (i.e., memory).

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Student examples will vary, but some common elements are expected in this answer:
The UCS should produce a UCR. The CS should be a mostly neutral stimulus. There should be mention of repeated pairings. The CR should resemble the UCR.
