Radial Arm Maze
This type of maze is constructed with a centre platform with arms radiating from the centre. The original maze had 8 spokes. This type of maze is used to perform short-term memory experimentations on rats. Rats are examined on whether or not they have the ability to remember the arms they have already explored. This is determined by placing food pellets at each of the arms and the rat must only travel down each arm once and retrieve the pellet accordingly.
