From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   Hebbian learning
  
      The most common way to train a
      {neural network}; a kind of {unsupervised learning}; named
      after canadian neuropsychologist, Donald O. Hebb.
  
      The {algorithm} is based on Hebb's Postulate, which states
      that where one cell's firing repeatedly contributes to the
      firing of another cell, the magnitude of this contribution
      will tend to increase gradually with time.   This means that
      what may start as little more than a coincidental relationship
      between the firing of two nearby neurons becomes strongly
      causal.
  
      Despite limitations with Hebbian learning, e.g., the inability
      to learn certain patterns, variations such as {Signal Hebbian
      Learning} and {Differential Hebbian Learning} are still used.
