A review of selected works on spatial memory in animals and humans is presented, and
some ideas about the encoding of geometry and its role in evolution are presented, based …

Vertebrate hippocampal formation is central to conversations on the comparative analysis of
spatial cognition, especially in light of variation found in different vertebrate classes …

Animal Learning and Cognition: An Introduction provides an up-to-date review of the
principal findings from more than a century of research into animal intelligence. This new …

Traversal of a complicated route is often facilitated by considering it as a set of related sub-
spaces. Such compartmentalization processes could occur within retrosplenial cortex, a …

Rats were trained in Experiment 1 to find a submerged platform in 1 corner of either a
rectangular or a kite-shaped pool. When the walls creating this corner were a different color …

Since the proposal of Tolman (1948) that mammals form maplike representations of familiar
environments, cognitive map theory has been at the core of debates on the fundamental …

The ability of animals to find important goals in their environment has been said to require a
form of learning that is qualitatively different from that normally studied in the conditioning …

We employed a standard reference memory task to study the involvement of the
hippocampal formation (HF) of domestic chicks that used the boundary geometry of a test …

Human and non-human animals can use geometric information (metric information and left–
right discrimination sense) to reorient themselves in an environment. The hypothesis that in …

In 3 experiments rats had to find a submerged platform that was located in a corner of a kite-
shaped pool. The color of the walls creating this corner provided an additional cue for …
