in your own words using simpler words for each write a bullet point thank you

CORTICOTROPIN A polypeptide hormone, also known as adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), which is secreted by the adenohypophysis of the pituitary. It stimulates the synthesis and secretion of corticosteroids, and the growth of the adrenal cortex. EYEBUNK CONDITIONING A Pavlovian conditioning task in which the subject learns to respond with eyelid closure to a conditioned stimulus (CS; tone or light) that has been contingently paired with an unconditioned stimulus (US; airpuff or shock to the eye). In the delay paradigm, the CS precedes and overlaps with the US. In the trace paradigm, there is an 'empty' interval (or gap) between the CS and the US. PURSUIT ROTOR A motor-skill learning task that is used to assess the subject's tracking errors and time on a moving target DELAYED NONMATCHING-TO- SAMPLE TASKS In such recognition memory tasks, presentation of a stimulus is followed by a delay, after which a choice is offered. In matching tasks, the originally presented stimulus must be chosen; in nonmatching tasks, a new stimulus must be selected. With small stimulus sets, the stimuli are frequently repeated, thus becoming highly familiar. So. typically, such tasks are more readily solved by short-term or working memory rather than by long-term memory mechanisms.

Explanation / Answer

1. Pituitary gland secretes a polypeptide hormone namely ACTH which stimulates secretion and synthesis of corticosteroids and growth of adrenal cortex.

2. Pavilion conditioning use pairing of conditional and unconditional stimulus to know the learning behavior of the subject. Delay paradigm involves overlapping lf CS and US while trace paradigm involves a gap between the two.

3. Pursuit rotor is a task to asses subject's tracking error and time on moving target.

4. Delayed nonmatching tasks involves presenting a new stimulus followed by delay and then a choice. Matching tasksinvolves the original stimulus. Non matching tasks use short term or working memory mechanisms.
