Nativism vs. Empiricism
Nativism (Kant): bulk of knowledge is inborn (native), acquired during past lifetimes (genetic learning), Based on these native concepts new concepts are acquired through learning
-
Inborn Pattern Detection: Certain neurons of the visual cortex of a newborn cat to react to certain patterns (lines, angles) without any optical experience
Nativism: Certain neurons of the visual cortex are already linked at birth to such a degree that they react to certain optical patterns
Empiricism: If deprived of optical stimulation in critical phases, neurons degenerate. Pattern detectors develop depending on
environment!

Overlearning
Thomas Brown: Strength of assoiation determined by frequency/ repetition of stimultaenous occurence of two stimuli
Ebbinghaus: Defined overlearning as the number of repetitions of material after that material can be 100% recalled
Continuingrehearsalevenafterapparentlyperfectlearningleadstofurther improvement (at least in memory tests), Overlearning makes memory more resistant to forgetting
Association: Learning and memory depend on the formation of linkages between pairs if events, sensations, or ideas
