#Switching on one-shot learning in the brain This type of one-shot learning is more than handy
Scientists have suspected long that one-shot learning involves a different brain system than gradual learning, but could not explain what triggers this rapid learning
or how the brain decides which mode to use at any one time. Now Caltech scientists have discovered that uncertainty in terms of the causal relationship
and then activate one-shot learning when needed. The findings, described in the April 28 issue of the journal PLOS Biology,
"Many have assumed that the novelty of a stimulus would be the main factor driving one-shot learning,
and then couples with the hippocampus to switch on one-shot learning, as needed. Indeed, a switch is an appropriate metaphor,
says Shinsuke Shimojo, Caltech's Gertrude Baltimore Professor of Experimental psychology. Since the hippocampus is known to be involved in so-called episodic memory, in which the brain quickly links a particular context with an event
the researchers hypothesized that this brain region might play a role in one-shot learning. But they were surprised to find that the coupling between the VLPFC
The researchers hypothesize that the VLPFC acts as a controller mediating the one-shot learning process.
the researchers are intrigued by the fact that the VLPFC is very close to another part of the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex that they previously found to be involved in helping the brain to switch between two other forms of learning--habitual and goal-directed learning,
