“…Answering this question is important because it has been shown, in rodents and in humans, that when trained to find a hidden goal in the presence of geometrical and nongeometrical cues, in the two species mentioned, males seem more likely to rely on geometrical information to reach the goal, while females are more likely to use landmarks (in rats, see Rodríguez, Torres, Mackintosh, & Chamizo, 2010; Williams, Barnett, & Meck, 1990; in humans, Sandstrom, Kaufman, & Huettel, 1998; Ward, Newcombe, & Overton, 1986). Moreover, even when only landmark learning is addressed, males seem to learn different things than females about a single landmark that signals the location of a hidden platform (Chamizo, Rodríguez, Torres, Torres, & Mackintosh, 2014; Chamizo, Torres, Rodríguez, & Mackintosh, 2019).…”
