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.
• C) changing arm location by transposing the arms of a radial maze is more disruptive than merely rotating the radial arms.
• D) when the hippocampus is surgically damaged, working memory and reference memory deficits occur, with the damage to reference memory producing larger performance deficits than the damage to working memory.
