Summary Introduction
To determine:
A test through which it can be determined if an animal can use cognitive map to remember the location of its food source by manipulating and positioning few objects in the lab.
Introduction:
Cognitive mapping is the way in which an animal is able to recognize its surroundings and the arrangements of objects in its surroundings. Sometimes the animals recognize a particular landmark and do not have a true cognitive mapping ability.

EVOLUTION CONNECTION Scientists often use measures of“higher-order thinking” to assess intelligence in other animals.For example, birds are judged to have sophisticated thoughtprocesses because they can use tools and make use of abstractconcepts.

Assign numbers, I being the first event until 6 being the last.

Explain how an experiment using optogenetics could demonstrate the concept of “fire together, wire together” Predict whether a given change in receptors or neurotransmitter release is likely to strengthen or weaken a synaptic connection. Hypothesize how a channel or another molecule in a plant or animal would detect outside stimuli such as touch, chemicals, or light. Predict how perturbations in light levels, retinal, opsins, and cation channels in photoreceptors affects the photoreceptor’s membrane potential and neurotransmitter release. Given information about a neuron’s responses to stimuli, hypothesize what its receptive field might be.arrow_forward
- STAC: The Scaffolding Theory of Aging and Cognition proposed in 2009 is a conceptual model of neuroimaging to explain how the combined effects of adverse and compensatory neutral processe produce varying levels of cognitive function. [ P QUESTION 22 Which one is not the best way to describe necessary "threshold" as "sensitivity" declines with age? Individuals with lower sensitivity also have a lower threshold or tolerance for stimulation. O As sensitivity goes down, the threshold must be higher to compensate. Individuals with a low-sensitivity, need more stimulation than people with high-sensitivity. none of the above QUESTION 23arrow_forwardWhat role does nature play on learning?
