Similarities exist between whatever happens there and the events of learning.
An organism in a learning situation also displays a wide range of behavior before response differentiation places a new response in an organism's behavioral repertory. Stimulus sampling theory which assumes that learning is a stochastic process offers an explanation of what may be happening while an organism is learning a new piece of behavior. A sequence of actions occurs, each one interfering with preceding actions until some key response terminates the situation. One difference between learning and the transformation of the quantum wave is that we can watch the variety of behaviors as they occur, but no one can see what is taking place in the quantum wave. When measurement of a particle occurs, a similar reduction of ambiguity follows.
