Place versus response learning in rats

Abstract: 214Originally posed in the context of an examination of the veracity of two different learning theories-one presented by Hull (1943), which emphasized the learning of motor responses, and the other outlined by Tolman (1948), which emphasized the learning of environmental configurations, often called cognitive maps-the question of whether response learning or place learning is more primitive has proved difficult to answer clearly.Tolman, Ritchie, and Kalish (1946) argued that they had provided a definitive answ… Show more

“…Previous studies with rodents have described the interaction between place and response learning in great detail. Which strategy is favored depends on factors such as the type and prominence of place cues available to the animal, the structure of the maze, and room lighting (Cole, Clipperton & Walt, 2007; Restle, 1957). In invertebrates, the nature of the place cue is also important.…”

“…Animals may also learn about the response required to find a particular place, remembering the turns or steps that bring them to the goal. Response and place learning, and the conditions that favor each strategy, have been studied in rodents since the 1940s to the present day (Cole, Clipperton, & Walt, 2007; Dudchenko, 2001; Gibson & Shettleworth, 2005). It is clear that rats can use both strategies simultaneously and they appear to depend on different neural structures: place learning relies on an intact hippocampus whereas response learning requires an intact caudate nucleus (Kesner, Bolland, & Dakis, 1993; Packard, Hirsch, & White, 1989; White & McDonald, 2002).…”

“…The task used here is an open-field tower maze (adopted from (Cole, Clipperton, & Walt, 2007)), which is equivalent in complexity to the MWM. However, this task does not require the animal to swim, therefore removing the stressful and anxiety-provoking features inherent to the water maze.…”
