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.

The sense of equilibrium (balance) is really two senses— static equilibrium and dynamic equilibrium—that come from different sensory organs. The organs of static equilibrium (stat′ik e″kwı˘-lib′re-um) sense the position of the head, maintaining balance, stability and posture when the head and body are still. When the head and body suddenly move or rotate, the organs of dynamic equilibrium (di-nam′ik e″kwı˘- lib′re-um) detect such motion and aid in maintaining balance.arrow_forwardWhich theory of motor control does not explain how you can adjust your bat to where the ball will be when batting at a pitched baseball?
