Gender, Spatial Learning Trials, and Object Recall.
… maintained, but also increases with additional learning opportunities. It was concluded that the gender difference favoring women is not vulnerable to additional learning trials.</p>

Cue competition between shapes in human spatial learning
… systems of humans and other animals is whether learning about spatial relationships follows the same principles as learning about other kinds of contingent relationships between events. In non-spatial contingent relationships, learning about one stimulus can influence learning about other …

Iron deficiency affects spatial learning in neonatal piglets
… was assessed using a hippocampal-dependent spatial T-maze task. Severely deficient piglets were unable to acquire the task (P = 0.3937), while mildly deficient piglets had lower performance when the reward location was reversed than those on the adequate diet (P = 0.0321). This behavioral …

Interactions between sources of alignment in human spatial learning
… or goal to another. This ability to learn spatially and navigate is essential and therefore so is understanding how this is achieved. Traditionally there has been a split between the theory behind how we learn about temporal and spatial relationships. Since Tolman (1948) the generally …

Effects of Trypanosoma brucei brucei on spatial learning and memory
… disorder caused by trypanosomiasis disease, learning and memory formation were impaired. Besides, only a little research has been conducted to validate this claim. Thus, this study aims to; i) understand the impact of behavioural Morris water maze (MWM) training test on immune cytokine levels …

Three-dimensional spatial learning in a virtual space station node
… modules. Our previous experiments tested the spatial memory of human subjects in 1-G in an analogous cubic virtual environment and showed that humans are able to learn to orient when instructed to imagine different body orientations while facing in two different directions. Can subjects do the …

An Investigation of the Effect of Chronic Unpredictable Stress on Hippocampal Integrity and Spatial Learning
… hippocampus, and impair hippocampal-dependent learning and memory. Recent evidence suggests that the hippocampus has two functionally distinct subregions. The dorsal portion appears to be primarily associated with spatial navigation, while the ventral region has been linked to anxiety-related …

Transcriptional response to spatial learning and foraging in honey bees: molecular bases for adult neuroplasticity
… insect brain involved in sensory integration, learning and memory. Honey bees (Apis mellifera) learn to navigate in the environment surrounding the hive by performing orientation flights for several days before they begin to forage; both orientation flights and foraging are cognitively …

The effect of exercise on spatial learning and hippocampal proteins in maternally separated adult rats
… regimen were tested to determine their effect on spatial learning in young adult Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. A total of 144 rats were either maternally separated from postnatal day 2 to 14 or designated as controls. At postnatal day 50, rats were transferred to cages with attached running wheels. …

The spatial learning method : facilitation of learning through the use of cognitive mapping in virtual reality
… relationships between data items, called the spatial learning method. By creating a VE where the building or rooms represent data items, and the paths between the buildings or rooms indicte the relationships between the data items, visitors exploring the VE would not only be building up a …

An Examination of Hippocampal and Prefrontal Contributions to Spatial Learning and Memory using Immediate Early Gene Imaging
… regions which have repeatedly been linked to spatial learning and memory processing; however, the precise roles of individual sub-regions within these areas continue to be debated. The Morris water maze is a well-known behavioural task used to measure spatial memory. Despite its popularity, …

Action-Inspired Approach to Design of Navigation Techniques for Effective Spatial Learning in 3-D Virtual Environments
… large-scale virtual environments (VEs), accurate spatial knowledge is required, especially in training and learning application domains. By acquiring accurate spatial knowledge, people can effectively understand spatial layout and objects in environments. In addition, spatial knowledge acquired …

Adult-child Differences in Spatial Learning in an Immersive Virtual Environment as a Function of Field-of-view
… a serious obstacle to the design of effective learning environments for children. The main goal of this research was to quantify the impact of varying one VE system parameter, field-of-view, on large-scale, spatial learning in middle elementary schoolchildren and the incidence of side-effects …

Spatial Learning and Memory, Cognitive Flexibility, and Rule-Learning in Food-Caching Mountain Chickadees (Poecile gambeli) Across an Elevational Gradient
… advantageous, as they are involved with rule learning and using abstract, relational concepts; however, they remain highly controversial in nonhuman animals and have rarely been studied outside of a laboratory context. In this dissertation, I designed and conducted several spatial cognitive …
