Spatial Learning
The area of spatial learning has become an important area for integrating
associative, cognitive, and niche-related mechanisms. We are interested
in how to integrate contributions of cognitive processing modules, such
as absolute location, short-term visit memory, environmental geometry,
and time-place-event code learning with apparent niche related search
mechanisms related to way finding, efficient search of an area, and
We are currently focused on the phenomenon of spatial blocking in which
training with one (set) of search cues to find a particular location interferes
with the learning of subsequent additional cues also providing information
about the location of escape in a water maze, and food or water in an
arena.
