In this article we addressed the question whether rats can use distal landmarks as directional cues that are used in combination with other proximal landmark configurations. The animals were trained with an A, B, C, and D landmark configuration in the Morris pool, where B and C are the near (to platform) landmarks and A and D the far ones. We also added another more distal “directional” cue Z (a white strip attached to the black curtain surrounding the pool). Experiment 1a shows a robust detrimental effect on the time spent by the rats swimming in the platform quadrant when the location of all landmarks was “Inverted”(rotated by 180 degrees) with respect to Z. A similar detrimental effect was found when, after the inversion manipulation, the locations of the near and far landmarks were “Flipped”(B swapped with C and A with D). Rats in both Inverted and Flipped tests spent more time in the Z quadrant compared to the platform quadrant (BC). Experiment 1b provided evidence distinguishing between alternative explanations of how the directional cue Z acts in combination with the other landmarks. The results from both experiments show that Z operates differently to the standard landmarks. It can function as a beacon in its own right. It can also combine with the other landmarks to produce a high level of search performance, in a way that we hypothesize to be distinct from that described by the configural analysis often applied to multiple landmarks.
