Interference effects by spatial proximity and age-related declines in spatial memory by Japanese monkeys (Macaca fuscata): Deficits in the combined use of multiple spatial cues

Spatial information processing was assessed in 3 young (4-10 years old) and 4 aged (24-25 years old) Japanese monkeys (Macaca fuscata) on 3 delayed nonmatching-to-position (DNMP) tests with relatively short delays of 5 s. Each test had 3 conditions of different horizontal distances between sample and to-be-nonmatched positions. Experiment 1 demonstrated that the performance on […]
