Ashby and Valentine (2017) trace the origin of the first neurobiological theory of
learning (COVIS). The two scholars denote that “COVIS” first emerged in 1998 and proposed

ganglia-based” system as the two principal methodologies. The frontal based declarative system
relies on a logical reasoning technique of the various individuals. This method insinuates that
individuals learn following their ability to reason logically. Consequently, this learning technique
relies on working memory. Individuals with higher working memory are adjudged as quick
