Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Blocking research in spatial learning, particularly studies involving animals like rats, has shown that geometric cues (such as the shape and layout of an environment) are not easily overshadowed or blocked by other types of spatial cues like beacons or landmarks. This suggests that geometric cues have a robust and primary role in spatial navigation, which is not easily interfered with by the presence of other navigational cues.
