| Résumé : | Associative learning denotes a specific kind of learning process, in which a change in the behavior of an organism results from adaptation to a particular relation between events occurring in an environment. Current insights in the neurobiological mechanisms subserving associative learning are primarily based on experimental and clinical research with the classical (eyeblink) conditioning paradigms. In the mammalian species, including humans, the cerebellum serves as the cardinal neural substrate for different forms of associate learning including motor, emotional, and cognitive associative learning. This article aims to present a concise overview of the critical involvement of the human cerebellum in associative learning processes in the motor, cognitive, and affective domain. |
