Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Radial arm mazes are commonly used in spatial memory tasks. Animals, typically rodents, are required to navigate to specific arms of the maze to find a reward, while avoiding revisiting arms that have already been visited. The task tests the animal's ability to remember the location of the rewarded arm and inhibit revisiting previously visited arms.
