Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Eye-blink conditioning is a form of classical conditioning in which a neutral stimulus (e.g., a tone) is paired with an unconditioned stimulus (e.g., an air puff to the eye) that elicits an unconditioned response (e.g., an eye blink). After repeated pairings, the neutral stimulus alone will elicit the conditioned response (e.g., an eye blink). The cerebellum, hippocampus, and ventral striatum are all involved in eye-blink conditioning. The cerebellum is involved in the acquisition and timing of the conditioned response, the hippocampus is involved in the formation of the memory trace for the conditioned response, and the ventral striatum is involved in the motivation to perform the conditioned response.
