Abstract
Two experiments showed that in a runway rats recalled incidental features of the goal box which they had previously found at the end of it. They were shown to modify their running speed according to the current associated reward value of the goal box. Retrieval cues for features of the goal box were intra- and extra-maze cues, not the response of running. Two goal boxes differing only in colour could be discriminatively recalled by virtue of their association with two discriminable runways. These experiments disconfound recall of the goal box from place learning as factors in latent learning.This publication has 18 references indexed in Scilit:
