__________ involves a type of learning in which postsynaptic neurons become increasingly sensitive with repeated stimulation.

A) Instrumental conditioning
B) Negative reinforcement
C) Stimulus generalization
D) Long-term potentiation

Long-Term Potentiation

A process of synaptic enhancement that occurs after heightened levels of synaptic activity, believed to be a cellular mechanism for learning and memory.

Postsynaptic Neurons

Neurons that receive signals (across a synapse) from neurons, muscles, or gland cells.

Repeated Stimulation

Continuous or recurrent exposure to a particular stimulus, leading to a distinctive response.

  • Comprehend the principle of long-term potentiation (LTP) and its significance in the process of acquiring knowledge.
