....the unconditioned stimulus (US) and the conditioned stimulus (CS) is tactile stimulation of the siphon. The response to associative learning is stronger and lasts longer than with sensitization alone. Some types of higher order conditioning have also been found in Aplysia or its close relatives [21, 56]. All of these effects have a short term form, lasting a few hours, and a long term form which can last for at least several weeks. 3.1.2 WhyDoesAplysia Learn One mightwonder just what it is that a sea slug has to learn about, being a simple grazing animal with no natural predators. As the ....

....CS 2 will occur. ffl Pre exposure to the US may cause conditioning to the background environment, whichinturnwould block conditioning to a CS which is presented later. Although these learning phenomena have not actually been observed in Aplysia, they are found in Limax Maximus, a close relative [16, 56]. Mechanisms for Long Term Learning Following the training trials, as the short term response decays, there is a progressive shift toward longer term forms of learning. This shift occurs gradually over the course of several hours. Both the number of times a CS US stimulus pair is presented and ....
