Chapter 39.4, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
A test through which it can be determined if an animal can use cognitive map to remember the location of its food source by manipulating and positioning few objects in the lab.
Introduction:
Cognitive mapping is the way in which an animal is able to recognize its surroundings and the arrangements of objects in its surroundings. Sometimes the animals recognize a particular landmark and do not have a true cognitive mapping ability.
