Researchers Have Noted That Young Rodents Develop a Capacity to Learn

Researchers have noted that young rodents develop a capacity to learn before they develop a capacity to form long-term memories. This implies that

A) rodents have poorer memory systems than other mammals.
B) rodents are not appropriate models for studying the fundamentals of memory processes.
C) learning and memory involve different processes.
D) learning does not require functional neural circuits.
