“…However, piloting may also be taken to imply that the animal possesses a familiar area map built on individual experience of the spatial distribution of particular features of the environment. This idea is consistent with the concept of cognitive mapping whereby the knowledge of the goal location is integrated with the knowledge of the spatial relationships existing among various locations (Ellen 1987). In this case, the animal may take short cuts or choose between alternative routes to a goal without having to rely on a particular sequence of locations.…”

“…, 1990; CAMPOS & BETENTTHAL, in press). Similarly, active exploration of a feeding apparatus is necessary to enable young adult rats (Rattus norwegicus) to find food in the apparatus (ELLEN 1987;STAHL et al 1987;FOREMAN et al 1990; for more general treatment of the development of cognitive maps see BAKER 1978;WILTSCHKO & WILTSCHKO 1978. Black-capped chickadees (Parus atricapillus) that watch another individual cache food are no more efficient than nonobservers in subsequent efforts to discover the cache (BAKER et al 1988).…”
