Many of the foundational theoretical ideas in the field of learning and memory are traced to Donald Hebb. Examination of these ideas and their evolution suggest that Karl Lashley might have significantly influenced their development. Here, we discuss the relationship between Hebb and Lashley, and the parallels between them. Many now investigating the neurobiological basis of memory may be unaware both of Hebb's original descriptions, and the likely substantial contributions of Lashley. Many of their concerns remain with us today, and by clarifying the history we hope to strengthen the foundations of our field.
学习和记忆领域的许多基础理论思想都可以追溯到唐纳德·赫布。对这些思想及其演变的考察表明,卡尔·拉什利可能对它们的发展产生了重大影响。在这里,我们讨论赫布和拉什利之间的关系,以及他们之间的相似之处。现在许多研究记忆的神经生物学基础的人可能既不知道赫布的原始描述,也不知道拉什利的可能重要贡献。他们的许多关注点至今仍困扰着我们,通过澄清这段历史,我们希望能为我们的领域奠定更坚实的基础。
