Challenges to learning theory produced by backward blocking
A) pushed the majority of learning theory towards connectionist modeling.
B) expanded learning theory to deal with learning about stimuli that aren't physically present.
C) led to a decline in learning theory and an increase in the application of models from cognitive science.
D) had practically little impact once the challenges were solved
