What is Hebbian Learning? - WebSystemer.no

The simplest neural network (threshold neuron) lacks the capability of learning, which is its major drawback. In the book "The Organisation of Behaviour", Donald O. Hebb proposed a mechanism to update weights between neurons in a neural network. This method of weight updation enabled neurons to learn and was named as Hebbian Learning. The repeated stimulus of weak connections between neurons leads to their incremental strengthening. This is another kind of connection, that have an opposite response to a stimulus.
