The T-maze is a choice task. The subject is placed in the base
of the "T". Following a short delay, it is allowed to explore the maze
and choose to enter either the right or left arms. The choice is scored
according to variety of criterion, including spontaneous alternation,
cued reward, or to indicate a preference. Based on the criterion used
in an experiment, the T-maze can be used to test learning and memory,
preferences for stimuli or reward, or spontaneous alternation behavior.
