Translational Difficulties in Querying Rats on “Orientation”

Table 1

Intertrial changes in target finding of LH, LE and “LEJ2” rats depending on the possibility of correcting the initial false choice. Win-stay strategy: percentage ± SEM of rats swimming to the correct location in trial 2 as in trial 1 related to the number of rats choosing correctly in trial 1. Lose-shift strategy: percentage ± SEM of rats swimming to the correct location in trial 2 after choosing the incorrect one in trial 1 related to the number of rats swimming to the incorrect location in trial 1.

Possibility to correct	Cohort	Win-stay (%)	Lose-shift (%)
Yes	LE	82.4 ± 1.9	52.7 ± 2.4
	LH	80.7 ± 2.4	60.3 ± 3.0
Yes (days 1–5)	LEJ2	87.3 ± 4.2	27.9 ± 6.2
No (days 6–17)	LEJ2	92.0 ± 2.0	22.9 ± 2.7
