Application

The test that is referred to as "the water maze" was developed by Richard Morris. The maze is therefore referred to as "the Morris watermaze".

The Morris water maze is a test of spatial learning for rondents that relies on distal cues to navigate from start locations around the perimeter of an open swimming arena, to locate a submerged escape platform. Spatial learning is assessed across repeated trials and reference memory is determined by preference for the platform area when the platform is absent.

Reversal and shift trial enhance the detection of spatial impariments.

Search-to-platform area determines the degree of reliance on spatial versus non-spatial strategies. Cued trials determine whether performance factors tha are unrelated to place learning are present.
