چکیده
Rats were administered three versions of an object recognition task: In the spontaneous object recognition task (SOR) animals discriminated between a familiar object and a novel object; in the temporal order task they discriminated between two familiar objects, one of which had been presented more recently than the other; and, in the object-in-place task, they discriminated among four previously presented objects, two of which were presented in the same location as in preexposure and two in different but familiar locations. In each task animals were tested at two delays (5 minutes and 2 hours)―between sample and test phases in the SOR and object-in-place tasks, and between the two sample phases in the temporal order task. Performance in the SOR was poorer with the longer delay, whereas in the temporal order task performance improved with delay. There was no effect of delay on object-in-place performance. In addition the performance of animals with neurotoxic lesions of the dorsal hippocampus was selectively impaired in the object-in-place task at the longer delay only. These findings are interpreted within the framework of Wagner's (1981) model of memory.

Relative recency influences object-in-context memory
In two experiments rats received training on an object-in-context (OIC) task, in which they received preexposure to object A in context x, followed by exposure to object B in context y. In a subsequent test both A and B are presented in either context x or context y. Usually more exploration is seen of the object that has not previously been paired with the test context, an effect attributed to...

متن کاملAn associative analysis of object memory
Different aspects of recognition memory in rodents are commonly assessed using variants of the spontaneous object recognition procedure in which animals explore objects that differ in terms of their novelty, recency, or where they have previously been presented. The present article describes three standard variants of this procedure, and outlines a theory of associative learning, SOP which can ...
متن کاملThe protective effect of hesperetin and nano-hesperetin on object recognition memory in animal model of Alzheimer
Background and objectives: Hesperetin (Hst), aglycone form of hesperidin, is reported to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective activities. On the other hand, the latest nanoparticle technology can help to improve the bioavailability of Hst, which is affected by the final particle size and stability. Alzheimer’s disease is a neurodegenerative disease, character...
