Cerebellar lesions selectively abolish the learned response. But not all forms of classical conditioning. Pre-training lesions Mc. Cormick et al. , 1984; many others
Specifying domain of function. Task domain: Cerebellum for motor learning. Computation: Cerebellum for learning precise timing between stimulus events.
Specifying domain of function. Task domain: Cerebellum for motor learning. Computation: Cerebellum for learning precise timing between stimulus events. Timing hypothesis accounts for dissociation of heart rate and eyeblink responses.
Lesions of the cerebellar hemisphere do not abolish eyeblin response but do disrupt the adaptive timing. Prelesion Postlesion Trained with 200 ms ISI Trained with 500 ms ISI Perrett et al. , 1993
Multiple levels of learning. Simple associations at DCN Precise timing from cerebellar cortex to flexibly make response adaptive.

Sequence learning as test case. Stimuli appear at one of four positions. Press response key in corresponding position. Stimuli follow sequence or are chosen at random.

Learning series of spatial associations. Stimuli, responses lack precise timing. Transfer indicates effector-independent learning. Computational analysis: Cerebellum not essential for sequence learning.
Avalanche of patient and imaging studies with SRT task central question: Is Structure X involved in learning? Extensive focus on basal ganglia and cerebellum given hypothesized role in skill, procedural learning, and automaticity.

If cerebellar lesions are so devastating to learning, why decrease with learning, esp. when motor cortical areas show increase w/ learning?
Sequence learning as test case. Performance-based hypothesis: Cortical-cerebellar interactions to maintain S-R mapping. Non-cerebellar systems forming sequential associations. Patient deficit: Poor sequence learning because noisy S-R codes provide weak input for associative mechanisms.
Prediction: Deficit in SRT learning will be reduced in patients with cerebellar lesions if S-R coding requirements are minimized.

Reach to target location Reach to target associated with central color Successive targets follow 8 -element sequence or selected randomly. Symbolic cues tax SR coding system (e. g. , Wise premotor)
Patients selectively impaired with symbolic cues. Consistent with performance problem rather than sequence learning per se.
