Document Summary
Sequence of ls and actions: environmental shape knowledge. Route you take from ccis to sub, node to node. The shape is stored in our spatial memory that will guide us. Disorientate the rat and move the food out: want to know if rat will go to location of food before in, rat will go to the correct corner, but half the time go to the opposite corner. Because the only feature to reorientate themselves were the geometric features of the rectangle (long edge on left, short on right) Rats will still have this error even if there is one distinguishable feature (red wall: survey knowledge (cognitive map) Classical theory of siegel & white: acquisition in stages. Do different types oof learning lead to different types of spatial memory. Map learning vs navigation: navigation: route knowledge, ground first view. Increased experience with navigation can lead to survey knowledge: map: survey knowledge, view spatial relations, see all locations at the same time.
