PAST PERSISTENCE. “Mimosa can acquire an enduring memory of a past event, whereby the plant recognizes and generalizes the learned stimulus even when the context in which the memory was generated has changed. In other words, Mimosa’s proficiency in responding appropriately to a known stimulus within a new context does not require brand-new learning but the capacity to ‘remember’ (i.e. recognize that a present cue has been previously encountered) and adjust slightly.”
