Abstract
Human participants were trained in a virtual water maze throughout two immediate phases, in order to locate a platform which particular location was specific to each phase. Afterwards, a trial without the platform was conducted.The ABA group experienced phase 1 and the test trial in Context A, while the second phase occurred in Context B. The ABB group received the first phase in Context A and the phase 2 and test trial training in Context B. Both groups had to locate the platform in each phase. During the test trial, the last platform location was preferred by the ABB group but the first platform location was preferred by the group ABA. These results suggest renewal of spatial memory in humans.
