Psychology

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

This protocol provides the information necessary to experimentally test rodents on a water escape radialarm maze task assessing high load working memory. Apparatus setup, testing items needed, step-by-step test procedures, testing score sheets, performance quantifi cation procedures, and troubleshooting are specified, detailed, and discussed. Examples of peer-reviewed published research literature using these procedures are also provided.
