The MWM is a test of spatial learning and memory. Through successive placements into the pool of water, the animal learns to swim to the location of the platform with the aid of distal, extra-maze cues placed around the apparatus. A cued condition where the hidden platform is made visible serves as a control for sensory or motor impairment.
