- “…a synaptic Template:Ency term that is used often will increase its strength so that the probability that it will be used later on increases”.
This rule, quoted by Template:Ency person (1990b), may seemingly be extended to any type of Template:Ency term Template:Ency term, able to learn by experience. It is however ambiguous, since it may lead the Template:Ency term into a rut, as in Pavlovian and Skinnerian conditioning.
St. Template:Ency person describes this situation: “… a difficulty with most versions of the Hebbian synapse is that the system tends to dig itself into a Hebbian hole deep in the solid Template:Ency term. Template:Ency term tend to become too deeply grooved into the system. This Template:Ency term may inhibit flexible Template:Ency term by trapping the system too readily in suboptimal Template:Ency term” (1993, p.229).
This could be called the Template:Ency term problem and its possible relation to Template:Ency term should be investigated. This could even be significant in Template:Ency term.
