Multiple Choice

Research on rats solving the radial maze problem has found that

• A) the rats use odor trail strength on the radial arm as a cue for selecting or not selecting the arm.
• B) rats use a response strategy of always turning left or always turning right when they exit an arm to systematically visit the arms without repeating a choice.
