1. What is hebbian learning?
a) synaptic strength is proportional to correlation between firing of post & presynaptic neuron
b) synaptic strength is proportional to correlation between firing of postsynaptic neuron only
c) synaptic strength is proportional to correlation between firing of presynaptic neuron only
d) none of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: Folllows from basic definition of hebbian learning.
2. What is differential hebbian learning?
a) synaptic strength is proportional to correlation between firing of post & presynaptic neuron
b) synaptic strength is proportional to correlation between firing of postsynaptic neuron only
c) synaptic strength is proportional to correlation between firing of presynaptic neuron only
d) synaptic strength is proportional to changes in correlation between firing of post & presynaptic neuron
View Answer
Explanation: Differential hebbian learning is proportional to changes in correlation between firing of post & presynaptic neuron.
