When Karl Lashley investigated the brain mechanisms involved in learning, he
A)made 'mental maps' by studying the bumps and valleys of the skull
B)studied the neurological differences using brain imaging
C)measured the EEG activity in trained and untrained animals
D)produced lesions in specific brain areas of animals and observed how this impacted learning and memory

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Karl Lashley conducted experiments where he created lesions in the brains of animals to study the effects on learning and memory, aiming to identify specific areas responsible for these processes. This approach was foundational in understanding the biological basis of learning.
