Associative weather prediction task: task structure and evidence that neural activity in hippocampus correlates with transfer ability (Kumaran et al., 2009). (A) Depiction of eight patterns presented during training: the terms “spatial” and “non-spatial” refer to the type of information which determines the outcome (i.e., shape-location, or shape-shape, respectively). (B) Behavioral evidence of superior performance in New session (left). Neural activity in left posterior hippocampus shows greater correlation with performance in New session cf. Initial session (right). Significant between-subjects correlation between activity in left hippocampus (averaged across anatomical ROI) during Initial session and performance in New session (see Kumaran et al., 2009 for details).
