ABSTRACT
Animals build and store maps of their world in order to predict when and where different environmental events take place (Honig, 1982). Whereas temporal maps reflect the relationships among temporal events, spatial maps reflect the relationships among spatial locations. Temporal maps are used in temporal navigation to anticipate the occurrence of environmental events. Spatial maps are used in spatial navigation to predict the location of those events. The hippocampus has been proposed to participate in either spatial (O'Keefe & Nadel, 1978) or temporal (Solomon, 1979) mapping.
