| has gloss | eng: The oasis maze is a tool used in psychology and neuroscience research, usually to test spatial memory. It is the dry land version of the Morris water navigation task. The maze consists of an enclosed space (usually the same shape and dimensions of the space used in the water maze) in which a small amount of water is hidden. A thirsty rat is then placed in the maze and is taught where the water is by trial and error. The maze tests memory by allowing the researcher to record the rat's performance on this task after it is learned and various time intervals or other events supposedly disruptive to memory have occurred. |
