Direct linkBuckley, Matthew G.; Smith, Alastair D.; Haselgrove, Mark – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2014
An influential theory of spatial navigation states that the boundary shape of an environment is preferentially encoded over and above other spatial cues, such that it is impervious to interference from alternative sources of information. We explored this claim with 3 intradimensional--extradimensional shift experiments, designed to examine the…

Diviney, Mairead; Fey, Dirk; Commins, Sean – Learning & Memory, 2013
Learning to navigate toward a goal is an essential skill. Place learning is thought to rely on the ability of animals to associate the location of a goal with surrounding environmental cues. Using the Morris water maze, a task popularly used to examine place learning, we demonstrate that distal cues provide animals with distance and directional…
