Paper Summary:
The paper examines research by Haque, et. al. that used rats to better understand how to ward off the effects of aging on the brain, and research by Briggs, Fitz and Riccio that gauged information loss in conditioned learning when contexts change. The paper describes these studies and relates that both studies could have long-term implications for helping academicians understand how to enhance learning in human and non-human species.Outline:

Conclusion
From the Paper:
"Non-human species are frequently the subject of academic research designed to ascertain a better understanding of learning, intelligence and educational processes. The use of rats, which are inexpensive, reproduce quickly, have mild temperaments and are prone to conditioning, is particularly common (Humane Society, 2007). Two recent studies by Haque, et.al. (2006) and Briggs, Fitz and Riccio (2007) used rats to gain knowledge pertaining to learning processes and how learning can be impaired."Sample of Sources Used:
