Mass Action in Learning and the Brain A classic study explores how brain lesions affect maze learning and problem solving in animals, shedding light on how brain damage changes learning ability across tasks of different complexity. This edition compiles detailed observations and careful analysis to map how extent and location of injury relate to performance.

The work frames a key question in brain science: why do similar lesions produce different outcomes in different individuals? It describes experiments with multiple maze tasks, comparing normal and brain-damaged groups, and discusses how task difficulty, element repetition, and qualitative differences influence learning and memory. The discussion is grounded in data, with attention to variability among subjects and to what the findings suggest about general principles of learning and cortex function.

- Learn how researchers assess learning through maze performance and error patterns
- See how lesion extent correlates with task difficulty and learning rate
- Understand theories on mass action, equipotentiality, and the role of different cortical regions
- Explore debates about qualitative vs. quantitative differences in learning after brain injury

Ideal for readers of neuroscience, psychology, and history of brain research who want a window into early 20th?century experiments and the questions they raised about how the brain learns.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This groundbreaking study delves deeply into the mechanisms underlying maze learning, analyzing the relation between cerebral functions and spatial learning. The author, a pioneer in the field of neuropsychology, examines the effects of cerebral lesions on maze learning in rats. Through meticulous experimentation, the author establishes a strong correlation between the extent of cerebral damage and the degree of learning impairment, demonstrating the impact of brain lesions on cognitive abilities. Furthermore, the author explores the influence of lesion location, complexity of the maze, and the role of subcortical structures, providing valuable insights into the intricate relationship between brain function and behavior. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
