Abstract
Shors and Matzel's evaluation of approaches to the behavioural functio n of LTP is welcome, and should encourage a widening of conceptual app roaches to this problem. In addition to their call for increased sophi stication in thinking about LTP, there needs to be a parallel increase in sophistication in the study of behaviour. Changes in emotional sta te or tone may be a better function for LTP than attention mechanisms.
