To explore the possibility that people's spatial working memory is also influenced by error-based adaptive processes, Brissenden and his colleagues carried out five experiments. Three of these ...

Rodent paradigms for spatial learning and memory have been instrumental in dissecting the neural substrates of navigation, cognition and disease. Classic tasks such as the Morris water maze, Barnes ...
