How did Lashley develop the equipotentiality hypothesis? He trained rats in the correct route through a maze, then deliberately damaged their brains and observed that this did not inhibit their progress through the maze. He observed rats with brain damage gradually learn the correct route through a maze and then apply that knowledge to get through a different maze. He compared rats with brain damage to rats without brain damage on how quickly they could solve a puzzle to get food. He timed rats with brain damage and rats without brain damage to see which could complete a maze quicker.

Why do strong emotions trigger the formation of strong memories and weak emotional experiences form weak memories? Weak emotional memories involve effortless processing and strong emotional memories involve effortful processing. Strong emotional experiences stimulate the cerebellum and thyroid, the centers of emotional memory. Strong emotional memories are transferred from short-term memory to long-term memory more quickly than weak emotional memories. Strong emotional experiences can trigger the release of neurotransmitters and hormones that strengthen memory.
