Learning
Learning
research at the University of Arizona is reflected across a variety
of areas including memory, perception, and language. Our approach
to learning and plasticity encompasses behavioral, neural, and molecular
investigations with subject populations all the way from infants
to the elderly, both human and animal. A broad range of theoretical
perspectives provides a contemporary approach to the study of learning.
Specialties include statistical learning, spatial learning, perceptual
learning, and the neurological basis of learning and memory. Cognitive
