abstractdeveloping self-regulated learners has been the life-long ambition of different stakeholders in education. this study was set out to find the relationships between self-regulated strategies as defined by time and resource management, cognitive and metacognitive strategies, achievement goals classified as mastery, performance-approach and performance-avoidance, and the listening achievem...

there is strong evidence that two cerebral hemispheres are differentially involved in emotional memory and that amygdala is a key subcortical structure for emotional experience. the present research investigated the possible involvement of lateralization of basolateral amygdala (bla) and central amygdala (cea) in place avoidance memory. for this purpose, male long-evans rats (280-320 g) were im...

The amygdala is critically involved in discriminative avoidance learning. Large lesions of the amygdala block discriminative avoidance learning and abolish cingulothalamic training-induced neuronal activity. These results indicated that amygdalar processing is critical for cingulothalamic plasticity. The larger lesions did not allow differentiation of the specific functioning of various amygdal...

Introduction: Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT 2, 6-di-tert-butyl-p-cresol) is one of the extensively used antioxidants in the food industry. It is used in low-fat foods, fish products, packaging materials, paraffin, and mineral oils. BHT is also widely used in combination with other antioxidants such as BHA, propyl gallate, and citric acid for the stabilization of oils and high-fat foods. On t...

The effects of telencephalic lesions of the medial pallium (MP) and lateral pallium (LP) of goldfish on avoidance learning were studied in a two-way, shuttle response, spaced-trial avoidance conditioning situation. Animals received one trial per day, a training regime that permits the assessment of avoidance learning in the absence of stimulus carry-over effects from prior trials. Control and L...

Background and Objective: Based on the effect of chronic metabolic diseases including diabetes mellitus on the learning and memory, this study was designed to assess the usefulness of administration of salvialonic acid B on lessening of learning and memory deficits in streptozotocin (STZ)-diabetic rats. Materials and Methods: Male Wistar rats were allocated into control, salvialonic acid B-trea...

diabetes mellitus is accompanied with disturbances in learning, memory, and cognitive skills in the human society and experimental animals. therefore, this research study was conducted to evaluate time-dependent changes in passive avoidance and y-maze performance in male diabetic rats. for this purpose, male wistar rats were randomly divided into control and diabetic groups. for induction of di...

An experiment involving 120 pigs, with four pigs randomly selected from each of 30 litters, was conducted to determine the relationship between avoidance learning and water-maze learning, and to determine which pattern or patterns in a water-maze would reflect maximum differences in learning ability. Decreases in total errors and total latency indicated learning occurred on the non-alternating ...

To clarify the role of the amygdala in the fulfillment of memory and/or learning, amygdala-lesioned mice were tested in passive and active avoidance performances and also in spatial learning tasks. Although the lesioned animals showed deteriorated performances in both passive and active avoidance tests, they executed the spatial learning tasks as well as the control mice. The learning deficit w...
